Pyrophoric countermeasure flare

摘要

A decoy flare comprises: (i) a tubular shell (1) with a cover (3) and a movable closure (7); (ii) front and rear rupturing discs (2,4) sealing in a pyrophoric liquid (17); (iii) a gas generating energetic material disc (11) adjacent to the rear disc for generating a force which ruptures one disc directly and the other through a piston (18); and (iv) an initiating device to activate the gas generator (11) and eject the pyrophoric liquid.
