Abstract: The two-payload decoy device has a square outer case, containing a manifold/delay body assembly, a round payload assembly, and a square payload assembly. The square outer case is closed with an end cap. The manifold/delay body assembly is attached to the round payload assembly, which rests against the square payload assembly. Firing a standard impulse cartridge ignites a booster pellet and delay element in the manifold/delay body assembly. Gases flow through openings in the manifold/delay body assembly and down the corner cavities between the round payload assembly and the square case, pushing the square piston against the square payload, which separates the end cap from the case and ejects the square payload. The delay element burns for a specific time, and then ignites a round payload expulsion charge, which creates gases that push the round piston against the round payload, which dislodges a retaining ring, and ejects the round payload.

Abstract: The two-piece end cap assembly has an end cap that has a groove around its perimeter and at least one cavity. The end cap is fixed in place inside the flare case with the cavities exposed. Sealant/adhesive is applied to the groove and cavity. A RAM cap, having a flange on its edge corresponding to the size of the flare case and a number of projections corresponding to the cavities, is installed on the top surface of the end cap. The sealant/adhesive in the cavities attaches the RAM cap to the end cap. The sealant/adhesive in the groove is forced to the edges of the end cap and provides a seal between the end cap and the flare case. Radar Absorbing Material is applied to the top and exposed edges of the RAM cap, completely masking the face of the flare and its edges.
