CAMPS - Civil Aircraft Missile Protection System
The Saab Avitronics Civil Aircraft Missile Protection System, CAMPS, is designed to be an integrated part of the aircraft to effectively counter the MANPADS threat against civil aircraft as well as Troop Transport, Military Special Mission and VIP aircraft. CAMPS has a UV-missile approach warner and electromechanical dispensing of a new type of pyrophoric decoys developed by Chemring Group, the world leader in decoy development.
CAMPS is totally modular and can be adapted according to aircraft size or operational requirements. CAMPS consists of two major building blocks: the MAW-300 Missile Approach Warning System and the BOA Counter Measure Dispenser System. For civil airliner and VIP aircraft applications, pyrophoric covert decoys are foreseen as a prerequisite to counter the proliferated MANPADS threats. This also means that CAMPS meets the special requirements and considerations of operating an aircraft in the commercial air traffic environment. The basic aircraft self-protection suite has two sensors to cover the aft to beam sector of the aircraft and one Dispenser System (BOA CMDS) per engine. To achieve 360° coverage, the system uses a total of four sensors.
