Civil Aircraft Missile Protection System or CAMPS is an infrared countermeasure against
anti-aircraft missile s, specifically designed to defend civilian aircraft flying under convert|15000|ft|m againstMANPAD s.The system was developed by

pyrotechnic military flares, such as those used by a similar Israeli system [cite news|url=http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3221013,00.html|title=Europe objects to El Al's anti-missile shield|publisher=Ynetnews ] . The onboard processor usesneural network pattern recognition algorithms to classify potentials threats detected by its infrared sensors.cite web|url=http://products.saab.se/PDBWebNew/Generic.aspx?Entrance=Product&ProductCategoryId=272&ProductGroupId=375&ProductId=1349|title=CAMPS - Civil Aircraft Missile Protection System|publisher=Saab |accessdate=2008-03-04] The system was successfully demonstrated at theOverberg Test Range in March 2007.References
