Countermeasures Development

In a rapidly evolving threat landscape, countermeasures development for the protection of platforms from hostile missiles can be complex and costly. Training of personnel, acquiring the tools and developing the processes is increasingly difficult and time consuming. That’s where we can help.

Our Countermeasures team brings experts in physics, maths and defence insights together to provide a world-class countermeasures design, development and testing service. Our unique position as the only team to deliver this service for UKMOD, we offer an unparalleled service that you can trust.

The team uses MASS’ advanced suite of tools, including our specialist tool CounterWorX, to move through the full Threat Vulnerability Analysis and Countermeasure Development (TVACD) lifecycle. It allows the us to virtually model dangerous and complex scenarios to optimise survivability from lethal engagements when learnings are deployed in the field. If nations possess physical test and evaluation capabilities, the software drastically reduces the number of points before live testing, significantly decreasing costs by limiting time on the range. If range facilities are not available countermeasures can be directly loaded onto the platform for immediate deployment.

Accelerating advances in countermeasures accuracy

Virtual Modelling

CounterWorX enables reverse engineering of threats, with information extracted from threats used to build virtual models.

Accurate 3D Modelling

CounterWorX provides accurate 3D modelling of multi-domain operations to build an understanding of the threat system and defensive aid capability – determining which countermeasures will be effective.

Post-Mission Analysis

CounterWorX supports post-mission analysis by taking real flight data and comparing with models – providing a deep understanding of mission effectiveness.

Data Profiling

CounterWorX profiles data that exists within a threat database – providing a full data picture to inform decision making.

Features

CounterWorX’s full suite of capabilities

CounterWorX compatability

CounterWorX is fully compatible with MASS’ electronic warfare database, THURBON.

CounterWorx DISCOVER

CounterWorX DISCOVER is a missile reverse engineering tool – enabling users to gain an aerodynamic model of a threat based on only basic known information.

CounterWorX PROTECT

PROTECT is a multi-domain and multi-mode 3D simulator. The RF, EO, IR-capable tool provides an understanding of threat systems and defensive aid capability – determining which countermeasures will be effective.

CounterWorX ANALYSE

ANALYSE explore data produced by the PROTECT tool.

CounterWorX REPLAY

Supports post-mission analysis by visualising real flight data – providing a deep understanding of mission effectiveness. It can also be used to visualise training engagements on weapons ranges.

CounterWorX KNOWLEDGE

Profiles the data that exists in an EW threat database, enabling users to assess the completeness and accuracy of data related to an adversary’s systems. This is fully compatible with MASS’s THURBON EW database and provides a graphical view and perspective of the available data to feed into modelling.
