A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a pivot able cover arranged in the launch opening, where the cover, in a closed state, is adapted to close the launch opening such that the cartridges are covered. The cover is adapted to open when a force from a fired countermeasure is acting on a mounting plate. The advantage of the invention is that a cover covering the countermeasure scan be opened in a fully mechanical way, by the use of the reactional force of the countermeasure. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.

A decoy device including: a cartridge casing; and two or more pyrophoric assemblies disposed longitudinally in the casing for sequential ejection from the casing, the two or more pyrophoric assemblies including: a pyrophoric material; a piston positioned rearward in an ejection direction relative to the pyrophoric material, the piston being movable in the ejection direction upon application of ejection force to eject the pyrophoric material from the casing; one or more energetic materials positioned rearward in an ejection direction relative to the piston, the one or more energetic materials being initiated by electrical impulse to provide the ejection force to the piston; and an inert barrier layer positioned rearward in an ejection direction relative to the impulse cartridge.

A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a manoeuvrable spoiler arranged in front of the launch opening, where the spoiler is adapted to be fully retracted before a countermeasure has been launched, and that the spoiler is adapted to extend outwards in a predefined manner when a countermeasure has been launched. The advantage of the invention is that a spoiler will reduce induced noise from the open cartridges by extending a spoiler outwards depending on the number of launched countermeasures. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.

This disclosure relates generally to a Multiple Payload Expendable Device consisting of a set of cylindrical multiple payload casings, each payload casing exhibiting circular symmetry fluid passages in relation to firing squibs and voltage coded squib actuating circuit that converts existing single payload expendable device systems to multiple payload expendable device systems.

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.
