New IRST pod to enhance the Eagle’s air/air targeting
Lockheed Martin introduced today the Legion Pod, a podded version of the IRST21 Infrared Search & Track sensor providing fighter aircraft with high-fidelity detection and tracking of airborne targets. Legion Pod is available to support the current F-15C infrared search and track program of record, which requires long-range detection and tracking in a wide field of view. In addition to detecting airborne threats, IRST significantly enhances multiple target resolution compared to radar, providing greater discrimination of threat formations at longer ranges. Data from the IR sensor is fused with other on-board sensor data to provide maximum situational awareness to the warfighter.
