The Manta system, developed by Indra, is an aircraft self-protection system that countermeasures simultaneous infrared surface-to-air missile attacks.
The system detects the incoming missile and deviates it with the help of the DIRCM laser, without requiring a prior identification.
The technology development was also supported by the Spanish Ministry of Defence and Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacial (INTA).
