ABSTRACT:
A countermeasure for luring an incoming hostile missile away from a vehicle is provided. The countermeasure includes a housing, an infrared-emission body containing a sublimation compound in a solid state, a heating source for converting the sublimation compound into a vapor state, and a case containing the infrared-emission body. The case includes an outlet for discharging the sublimation compound in the vapor state into the atmosphere, where the sublimation compound is returned to the solid state in the form of a discrete cloud of particles. Also provided is a method for using the countermeasure, for example, to evade a hostile missile.
