How The German Air Force Airbus A350’s New J-MUSIC DIRCM System Works

The German Air Force’s VIP Airbus A350’s are set to be upgraded with Israeli laser air defense systems that will protect the aircraft from MANPADS threats. The German Air Force now operates three modified Airbus A350s that are used to transport top-ranking German officials. The air force took delivery of the last of three new A350s to replace its two aging A340s. While these aircraft may not be as heavily modified as Air Force One’s two Boeing 747-400s (designated VC-25), they are still modified from their original civilian form. The A350s are the largest Airbus aircraft in production today following the end of the A380.
