Key figures

Thales, your partner in building long-term success

Multi-function system

Detects, categorises and tracks multiple simultaneous threats from ManPADS and SAMs, through RPGs to hostile fire, including ball and non-tracer rounds.
World-beating performance

Elix-IR has been demonstrated to provide maximum detection range with minimal false alarm rate.
Maximise platform protection

Elix-IR is easily integrated into third party effector systems such as DIRCM or CMDS, for example Thales' Vicons XF/XF PLUS Intelligent Countermeasures Dispensing System .
Cutting edge technology

Without rapid detection, high accuracy and low latency threat reporting, platforms and lives are at risk. Single-channel infra-red threat warners are the best solution to provide maximum performance with minimum false alarms.

Elix-IR is a latest-generation Infra-Red Threat Warning system, offering unparalleled performance in detecting, tracking, and responding, to a wide variety of incoming threats, dramatically enhancing the survivability of platforms in hostile environments. Unlike other systems, Elix-IR uses a single-channel IR to detect threats at their maximum effective ranges with a minimal false alarm rate.

Over 30 years of experience in delivering comprehensive defensive aid systems around the globe, combined with continual system upgrades to counter evolving threats, ensure that Elix-IR is the best in its class. It enables freedom of action, full integration with countermeasure effectors, and maximised mission success for customers.
