Patent ID: 11098985

Abstract:
The invention relates to a decoy (3) for protecting a fast aircraft (1) against an incoming threat (2), wherein said decoy is non-driven. The decoy (3) has a squib (6) on one end and a molded body (11) on the opening side. If the decoy (3) has an active material container (8), the squib (6) can be attached to the end side thereof and the molded body (11) attached to the opening side thereof. The squib (6) contains a propellant, which is converted into a drive energy. The molded body (11) is heavier than the decoy (3) without the molded body (11) and has the task of preventing the separating of the molded body (3) to the rear. In addition, the molded body (11) should be at least 1.0-1.5 times heavier than the decoy itself. Advantageously, however, the molded body (11) is twice as heavy.
