ABSTRACT:
This invention generally relates to aircraft countermeasures and more particularly to an infrared decoy flare which operates in a substantially aerodynamic configuration and effectively shields aerodynamic cooling associated with its operation when ejected into the adjacent windstream of a tactical aircraft. The decoy provides an enhanced infrared signature to IR and heat-seeking threats to effectively decoy them away from the protected aircraft.
