ABSTRACT:
A launching barrel/oscillator module simulation unit is provided for simulating a plurality of launcher barrels and associated oscillator module of an aerial (infra-red or chaff) decoy arrangement. The unit is adapted for connection to a launcher control module (LCM) of the arrangement which sends command information over a data link (DB) for the operation of the launcher/barrel oscillator module (LCM) in accordance with specific decoy requirements. The unit is effective for sending status information back to the launcher control module (LCM) over the data link (DB) and basically comprises (i) a plurality of switches in respect of each simulated barrel and operable in dependence upon the condition (e.g. loaded or unloaded) of the barrel to be simulated (ii) selector switching means for the selective application of simulated firing and/or charge and timing pulses to simulated inductive coupling means of the respective barrels (iii) a plurality of digital display indicators appertaining to the respective barrels and effective for displaying the predetermined time intervals corresponding to the aforesaid timing pulses and (iv) further switching means for simulating various conditions (e.g. misfire) of the launcher barrel/oscillator module and various indicator lamps for providing visual indications relating to pre-set and monitoring functions.
