Abstract: A soft-kill countermeasure system utilizing a confirmation device, which may be radar, to enhance existing countermeasures, and enable new countermeasures to be utilized to combat the ever evolving and increasing sophistication of threats. The threat defeat confirmation may allow for rapid or immediate redirection of the countermeasure system to address additional simultaneous threats. The confirmation device can be mounted on a gimbal head or above a gimbal to take advantage of slewing movement to direct the confirmation signal towards the threat.

Abstract: A filter assembly of an optical system. The filter assembly may include a first spool, a second spool, and a film filter that operably engages with the first spool and the second spool and the film filter having at least two filters that are different from one another. The filter assembly may also include a drive assembly that operably engages with one of the first spool, the second spool, and the film filter for moving at least one filter of the at least two filters into optical alignment with a focal plane sensor of the optical system. The film filter of the filter assembly may also be made from a flexible material that bends when wound about the first spool and the second spool.
