Defensie gaat de aangekochte Gulfstream G650
ter zelfbescherming uitrusten met een door
Elbit Systems ontwikkeld
Direct Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM)
systeem en een zogenoemd
Electronic Warfare (EW) systeem.

Het Israëlische Elbit Sytems integreerde deze systemen in het zogeheten J-MUSIC DIRCM ((Direct Infrared Countermeasures) systeem
dat samen met het op infrarood gebaseerde passieve waarschuwingssysteem (IR-PAWS)
de G650-een hoog niveau van bescherming en redundantie biedt.

Deze systemen hebben tot op heden honderdduizenden vlieguren verzameld
en zijn inmiddels geschikt voor inbouw in meer dan 25 vliegtuigtypes uit te rusten.
Klanten zijn onder meer Israël, Duitsland en de Multinational Multi-Role Tanker Transport Fleet (MMF). van de NAVO .

Okay V-117
But the presentation of the serial looks a bit odd.
Small and the 7 is different from other 7s of eg. F-16, (J-017) AH-64 (Q-17) CH-47 (D-667) normally the 7 ends under the horizontal part of the 7.
