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.

Just for reference, I think I'll add this RAND monograph from 2005 which includes some discussion of hard-kill active protection for transport aircraft.

The RAND study modeled a very different threat and a very different hard-kill interceptor.

Way bigger than necessary.
