The concept proposes to move military aircraft beyond current self-protection systems, which focus on blinding the guidance systems of incoming missiles with laser- and radio frequency (RF)-based countermeasures, or confusing them by dispensing chaff and flares.

Instead, the US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is evaluating a concept called Hard Kill Self-Protection Countermeasure System (HKSPCS) for the Lockheed Martin C-130 and a range of military derivatives of commercial aircraft, such as the Boeing 707, 737, 757 and 767 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, according to a request for information (RFI) published to industry on 3 May.
 
The RAND study modeled a very different threat and a very different hard-kill interceptor.
 
Very interesting reports, thanks.

Would this foot the bill with updates of course.

Way bigger than necessary.
