  • Patent number: 11098985
    Abstract: The invention relates to a decoy (3) for protecting a fast aircraft (1) against an incoming threat (2), wherein said decoy is non-driven. The decoy (3) has a squib (6) on one end and a molded body (11) on the opening side. If the decoy (3) has an active material container (8), the squib (6) can be attached to the end side thereof and the molded body (11) attached to the opening side thereof. The squib (6) contains a propellant, which is converted into a drive energy. The molded body (11) is heavier than the decoy (3) without the molded body (11) and has the task of preventing the separating of the molded body (3) to the rear. In addition, the molded body (11) should be at least 1.0-1.5 times heavier than the decoy itself. Advantageously, however, the molded body (11) is twice as heavy.

  • Patent number: 8146504
    Abstract: A protection system (10) is proposed which comprises a storage container (1), a transport unit (2), an activation unit (3), an ejection unit (4), a monitoring/control unit (5) and a user unit/interface (6), as well as at least one effect body (7). This system (10) is integrated at the front in a flying carrier (11), and a modular system (10), with the object of positioning spoof measures in a defined manner, in this case by means of the effect body (7). The various effect bodies (7) are preferably activated and initiated in a controlled manner without any physical contact, in the same way as pneumatic or mechanical ejection of these effect bodies (7). The effect bodies (7) are packets without any munitions, and are responsible for the actual effect of the system (10) outside the carrier (11).
