Rafael is developing an IR guided missile countermeasure system called
AIM-AIR. It basically uses sensors to track any IR guided missiles
fired at an aircraft and it uses lasers to then burn the guidance head
of the IR guided missile.

Can missile developers get around this by maybe adding a filter to the
warhead or will the solution for now be to fire the missiles in salvos
thereby overwhelming the countermeasure?

Take a look at
http://www.oldcrows.org.au/download/.../langietti.pdf, it
discusses the laser plug-in for the US version.
