Abstract: A system for multistage aerial dispersion of materials or substances in mte form to provide an aerial array of interspaced clouds or cloud-like patterns of such materials or substances. Although the materials or substances may be in the nature of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and the like, suitable for domestic applications, there is basically disclosed a system for military applications. In this latter regard, rapid multipositional aerial dispersion of decoy material, such as thin metallic strips, chaff, or the like, to deceive or confuse enemy radar is achieved by packaging the decoy material in a carrier missile structured to carry a plurality of separate frangible canisters or modules respectively containing the decoy material in the form of a myriad of such metallic strips or chaff.

Abstract: Rapid aerial dispersion of thin metallic strips or chaff to confuse enemy dar is achieved by packaging the chaff in multiple resilient wheels within a tubular container. Upon aerial release of the container, the wheels separate from each other and spin off randomly, scattering chaff over a wide area without local concentrations or birdnesting within such area.
