Countermeasure decoy system intended to be mounted on an aircraft

摘要

In order to allow decoy projectiles (6) to be launched with optimal quality of flight, the projectiles respectively include external cylindrical bodies (80) which are dimensionally identical, housed in the tube and each having a deployable-fins (9) aerodynamic stabilization device, that adopt a folded position inside the body when the projectile is in the tube, and a deployed position outside of the tube. To achieve that, the system includes a projectile ejection system (8), with an axial passage (12), arranged fixedly as a continuation of the tube, at the opposite end to the advance mechanism, and containing, in succession, after the control mechanism, the projectile (6) that is to be ejected by a controllable ejection device (25) connected to the module.

1. Counter-measure decoy system designed to be installed on an aircraft comprising:
counter-measure projectiles (6); at least one tube (5) receiving said counter-measure projectiles in series and for successive controllable launching of said counter-measure projectiles; and a control mechanism (7) for advancing said projectiles inside said tube, wherein: said counter-measure projectiles (6) respectively comprise dimensionally identical external cylindrical bodies (80), housed inside said tube and each having a deployable-tail-fin aerodynamic stabilization device (9), which tail-fins assume a folded position inside the body when said counter-measure projectiles are inside said tube, and a deployed position outside of said tube, said system comprises a projectile ejection module (8), with an axial passage (12), fixedly arranged in as an extension of said tube, opposite said control mechanism, and successively containing, after said control mechanism, said counter-measure projectiles (6) to be ejected from said tube by a controllable ejection device (25) connected to said module; wherein the counter-measure projectiles (6) are ejected through a lateral opening (11) in said module (8).
