Infrared decoy for deceiving threatening missiles with infrared homing heads, has dragline attached at airplane, and air brake comprising delivering region that is adapted for infrared radiation seen from airplane behind air brake

摘要

The decoy (1) has a launcher provided with a dragline (3). The dragline is attached to an airplane. The dragline suspends infrared (IR) radiation in a spectral band relevant for IR homing heads. An air brake (10) comprises a delivering region that is adapted for IR radiation seen from the airplane behind the air brake. A front body portion (7) is provided with a radiation-producing material. A dragging eyelet (5) is provided in a region of the front body portion for recording a drag line. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control unit for controlling of deployment velocity of dragline (2) a method for exposure of an IR decoy for a guard of an airplane.
