Technical requirements: The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is putting the acquisition of Decoy Cartridges (DC), specifically 130MM Naval Countermeasure Rounds up for tender.
DALO assess that the use of soft kill in combination with hard kill will have a significantly positive impact for the probability of self protection against hostile attacks.
The purpose of acquiring DC’s is to be able to create a “false” radar signature (Radar Cross Section (RCS)) sending the radio signature away from DALO’s ship. In order to induce the missile threat to attack the “false” signature it is required that the ”false” signature is larger than the signature released from DALO’s own ships signature. To make a larger signature than DALO’s ship, it may be necessary to use more than one DC.
The Royal Danish Navy vessels are currently using the C-Guard system produced and delivered by TERMA A/S with launcher type MK 137 (NSN 1055226149753) to launch the Decoy Cartridge.
Loading of launchers will possibly be done prior to going to sea and loading/reloading may occur when vessels are operating out at sea.
The Distraction Decoy is a pure chaff cartridge which is used to confuse/distract a radar seeking missile before it is discovered/locked by own unit. The Distraction Decoy is launched 1000-2000 meters away from own unit.
The Duel Decoy is a combination of chaff and phosphorus, which shall counteract both radar seeking and heat seeking missiles. The Duel Decoy is launched 80-130 meters away from own unit.
The Infrared Decoy contains material that release chaff and phosphorus, which shall confuse/distract radar and heat seeking missiles. The Infrared Decoy is launched 80-130 meters away from own unit.
The Seduction Decoy a pure chaff cartridge which is used to confuse/seduce a radar seeking missile, when it is locked on own unit. The Seduction Decoy is launched approximately 150 meters away from own unit.

At present, this is Danish consolidation act. no. 798 of June 2007 which requires invoicing to be done electronically. Exact terms will be stated in the contract.
