Jabba Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 A few of the photos that I took on Sunday Can anyone tell what this plate below the badges is for? There was one on each side of the C-17 A slightly different camo scheme of this model of a Saudi Typhoon. Can anyone tell what this turret thing is on the C-17?

Craig Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Nice pictures. You must have got there quite early as the crowds were thicker than that when I got there at 8.30. Gates weren't even open officially at that time. I spent the day in hall 4 looking after the MSSL trade stand with a few others. I did manage to sneak out though for the A-380, Typhoon, Vulcan and DC6 displays Not a bad day except for over an hour to get out the car park at the ned of the day. Craig.

1275i Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i think the turret on the C17 will be some form of countermeasure device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buccymad Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 i think the turret on the C17 will be some form of countermeasure device. infra red jammer ,commonly known as a disco light (looks like one of them there disco balls!!)cant remember the official designation ,used for disrupting the seeker head of incoming i.r missiles by diffusing the returned signal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275i Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 IRCM (Infra Red Counter Measure) LAIRCM (Large Aircraft Infra Red Countermeasure) or DIRCM which i think is Directional Infra Red Countermeasure, but dont quote me on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
