In a countermeasures control interface for use in deploying countermeasures in response to user commands, which are deployed from a first countermeasure dispenser that deploys a first type of countermeasure and a second countermeasure dispenser that deploys a second type of countermeasure different from the first type. A user interface receives user commands regarding countermeasures deployment and includes a display that shows a user-selectable image formats. At least one of the user-selectable image formats includes a graphic representation of a loadout of the first countermeasure dispenser and the second countermeasure dispenser, as well as a graphical representation of currently-available countermeasures deployment options. The user interface also receives input regarding a user countermeasure deployment choice and generates a signal corresponding to the countermeasure deployment choice. An electronic circuit controls the display and generates the user-selectable image formats, receives the countermeasure deployment choice from the user interface and activates the countermeasure dispensers.
A countermeasures control interface for use in deploying countermeasures from a frame in response to commands from a user in which the countermeasures are deployed from a first countermeasure dispenser that deploys a first type of countermeasure and a second countermeasure dispenser that deploys a second type of countermeasure that is different from the first type of countermeasure, the countermeasures control interface comprising:
ntermeasures control interface of claim 2, wherein the electronic circuit is programmed to cause the screen to display a plurality of labels wherein each one of the plurality of labels is disposed adjacent to a different one of the hard buttons and is associated therewith.
The countermeasures control interface of claim 3, wherein the electronic circuit is further programmed to display a set of ladder soft keys underneath at least one of the hard buttons when the user presses the hard button, user input device further comprising a user input for selecting one of the ladder soft keys and wherein the electronic circuit is further programmed to take a specific action when one of the set of ladder soft keys is selected by the user.
ntermeasures control interface of claim 6, wherein the graphical representation of threats includes a polar coordinate image that shows a bearing and range of the threat with respect to the frame.
A countermeasures device for deploying counter measures from a frame in response to commands from a user, comprising:
