One thing I have wondered about is if we're going to see the elimination of IFF for MANPADS. With the deployment of more countermeasures for aircraft, that would help reduce reaction time for the target.

Ground troops are now using IR/UV "guns" designed to replicate the launch caracteristics of a MANPADS, in order to trigger the automatic countermeasures of aircrafts and choppers.
Once the contermeasures are depleted, you can launch a MANPAD, or just achieve a "mission kill" because planes tends to abort their mission once the countermeasures are out.
