Abstract: A standard launcher module for various missiles, in particular flares, comprises a flat wall forming a base, provided with male engagement members. In the position engaged on the support incorporated in the aircraft, a connector is active. Provided in a central groove is a series of electrical initiators connected selectively to the connector and located opposite counterpart relay channels which lead respectively to the useful charges. A sliding bar located in the groove has orifices, located according to the working geometry of the initiators. Finally, a motor connected to the connector allows the movement of the bar between a safety position and an armed position.

Abstract: A decoy-launching pack for mounting on a directional carriage for foiling or frustrating weapons guidance systems. The pack comprises a rigid base suitable for positioning in a predetermined manner on said carriage, a firing means incorporated with said base for operation in conjunction with a firing-control component integrated in said carriage when said base is located thereupon, and a support located above and secured to said base and having the rack-shaped upper surface defining predetermined angled slopes. A firing transmission pyrotechnical chain extends from said firing means to the level of said angled slopes of the upper surface of said support, and a plurality of mortars are arranged with an ejection charge at the bottom bearing upon said angled slopes of said upper surface of said support, said mortars being predirected in the same plane, according to predetermined angles related to those of said angled slopes of the support surface.

Abstract: A pyrotechnical mole trap includes:An elongate protective envelope which is open at its ends and which is intended to be placed in the mole run,An electrical contactor placed inside the protective envelope,Two displaceable triggers mechanically controlling the electrical contactor, each of these triggers being placed at one of the ends of the protective envelope,Two electrically fired deflagrating pyrotechnical charges, of which each is placed on the outside of the protective envelope near each of the triggers,A source of electric energy,An electrical circuit which connects together the electrical contactor, the pyrotechnical charges and the source of electrical energy and which is wired in such a way that the action of the mole on either of the triggers closes the electrical circuit and fires the pyrotechnical charge situated in the immediate proximity of that trigger.

Abstract: An elementary emissive decoy for protecting, say, a ship from an infra-red guided missile has a water-tight case provided with floats and in which there is a liquid aerosol, a high calorific pyrotechnic composition core and an ignition device for the core. A plurality of decoys are launched from the ship one after another to create an artificial moving target.
