L-3 Cincinnati Electronics (CE) has been producing infrared missile seeker detectors for over twenty-five years. We have designed, prototyped, and mass-produced thousands of detectors for the Department of Defense and international customers as well. Our experience includes single element one-color and multi element linear array detectors, and imaging Focal Plane Array seekers.

Stinger: IR detector assemblies for man and vehicle platforms. Defensive platforms include Avenger Air Defense vehicles.

RAM Detectors: Quick reaction fire and forget missile. Designed for asymmetric air and surface threats.

JAGM: For helicopters and fixed wing vehicles; precision strike, single shot weapon.

JASSM: Long Range air to ground standoff missile. Advanced seeker/imager designed for deployment against high-value, well-defended targets.


 
 
Stinger Missile Detectors
CE is the supplier for the IR detector assembly used in the Army’s Stinger Block 0 Missile, and has been manufacturing Stinger detectors since the start of the program over 25 years ago. Over the past 12 years, CE has supplied in excess of 60,000 detectors for the Stinger program both domestically and internationally. Prior to building the Block 0 sensor, CE built several thousand detectors for the ‘Basic’ Stinger Missile Program. Originally designed as a shoulder-launched device, the Stinger missile is now deployed in a number of defensive platforms including Avenger Air Defense vehicles.

 
Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Detectors
CE is the manufacturer of the Infrared Detector Assembly used in the Navy’s Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Block 1, and is currently performing on multi-year procurement contracts for sensor assemblies. CE has been on the RAM missile program since its beginning and helped in the design of the first RAM (Block 0) seeker module and in the development of the Block 1 configuration. Our detectors have meet or exceeded all of the system performance requirements placed upon them. The RAM is a lightweight, quick-reaction, fire-and-forget missile designed to destroy anti-ship missiles and asymmetric air and surface threats.

   
   
Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM)
CE has been selected to provide the infrared seeker detector for the tri-mode detectors for the precision-strike, single-shot weapon where low collateral damage is required. The JAGM (formerly Joint Common Missile (JCM)) is an air to surface weapon for use by joint and allied service manned and unmanned aircraft to destroy high value stationary, moving and relocatable land and naval targets. JCM will be used on joint and allied service helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as an eventual replacement for the HELLFIRE, TOW and Maverick families of missiles.

   
Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)
CE was selected by Lockheed Martin to provide the advanced infrared seeker/imager for the new generation attack missile, JASSM. The program is a multi-year procurement based on incremental funding. JASSM is a long range, air-to-ground standoff cruise missile being developed for the USAF and USN. It is designed to destroy high value, well-defended, re-locatable targets.
