A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening where the countermeasures are stored in cartridges, where the cartridges are interconnect to each other in a slidable manner, and where the cartridges are adapted to be tilted by a tilting means to a selected angle, such that the openings of the cartridges can be directed in a selected direction. The advantage of the invention is that a countermeasure can be directed in a desired angle before it is launched.

A dispenser module for storing and launching countermeasures on an aircraft, comprising a magazine formed by a plurality of cartridges adapted to each hold a countermeasure where the dispenser module is adapted to be mounted in a side wall of an aircraft pylon structure, where the dispenser module comprises a spoiler and a hatch, where the magazine is mounted to the hatch, where the dispenser module is adapted to assume a first idle state in which the spoiler and the hatch are retracted to be flush with the side wall before a countermeasure has been launched, and where the dispenser module is adapted to at least assume a second active state in which the spoiler and the hatch extend outwards from the side wall when a countermeasure is to be launched, and where the dispenser module is adapted to retract to the idle state when a countermeasure has been launched.

A winged external guidance frame placed on the muzzle that can couple with a projectile while exiting the barrel utilizing the kinetic energy of the projectile to travel to the target while the accuracy is provided by on board electronics and corrected using the wings. Alternately a reusable unmanned aerial system that travels in the speed and direction of the projectile and couples with the projectile as it exits the barrel.

A test system is disclosed that has a chassis, a throwing mechanism that is located at an upper part of the chassis onto which at least one weight is attached and provides throwing the weight attached thereon, a base that is located at a lower part of the chassis and onto which a weight is thrown by the throwing mechanism, a control unit that provides throwing the weigh through the throwing mechanism, and a position adjuster is located on the base or chassis and provides aligning the weight thrown onto the base on the base.

An ejecting system for dispensing countermeasure boxes includes a container arranged to hold a multiple of stacked boxes. A pushing actuator is arranged to push at one end of the stack of boxes in a first direction. The system further includes an ejecting mechanism including a driving actuator connected to a rotating member. The rotating member is arranged to engage with a box and on the side of the box most distant from the pushing actuator such that said box is moved in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction, and ejected.

A propelling device is provided that is excellent in safety during storage and securely propels a propelling section during operation. A propelling device includes: a fixed section; a propelling section; a shape memory alloy placed between the fixed section and the propelling section; and a coupling member coupling the fixed section, the propelling section, and the shape memory alloy with each other, wherein the shape memory alloy is in a state of a compressed martensite phase, and the shape memory alloy is transformed from the state of the martensite phase to a state of an austenite phase, causing strain energy to be stored, and action of the strain energy is used to break at least part of the coupling member and also impart a propelling force to the propelling section, and action of the propelling force causes the propelling section to be propelled in a direction away from the fixed section.

A magazine for storing and launching countermeasures arranged in cartridges, comprising a plurality of longitudinal cartridge cases forming the magazine, where the magazine comprises a tilting means adapted to tilt the cartridge cases, such that the openings of the cartridge cases can be directed in a selected direction, and where a countermeasure comprises multiple projectiles, and where the magazine is adapted to launch a first countermeasure and a second countermeasure, where the projectile cluster density of the first countermeasure is lower than the projectile cluster density of the second countermeasure. The advantage of the invention is that a countermeasure can be directed towards an incoming object and can be adapted for the distance to the object before it is launched.
