ABSTRACT:
A method for the self-protection of an aircraft or the like against radar-guided missiles and a self-protection device for use in aircraft and the like against radar-guided missiles, which enables in-flight cutting and dispensing of chaff dipoles of a preselected length into the airstream along the flight path of the aircraft. The device comprises a housing enclosing a motor having a flywheel providing a motor inertia that enables the motor to maintain a substantially constant rotational speed when a load is applied, a magnetic clutch, gearing for rotating a platen roller and a cutter roller, as well as means for controlling the operation of the device, and an exit opening with a spoiler for dispensing the cut dipoles into the airstream.
