The invention relates to an igniter unit for a munition, comprising a housing and at least one pyrotechnic charge, the igniter unit comprising a control and communication device arranged in the housing and at least one interface connected to the control and communication unit and arranged in the housing.

Igniter unit and munition

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

Decoy

An active body () is proposed that has, as active mass (), multiple flares () arranged behind each other or stacked, in particular for the generation of decoys, wherein the flares () are NC (nitrocellulose) and RP (red phosphorus) single flares. The single flares () are evenly or unevenly stacked in succession such that one RP single flare () lies on an NC single flare (), or multiple NC single flares () or multiple RP single flares () follow each other, so that it is possible to vary the percentage of NC and RP in the active body () from about 0% to about 100%. A container () houses the active mass (), and can in turn have predetermined breaking points () to facilitate the break up of the active body ().

Active body

A protection system () is proposed which comprises a storage container (), a transport unit (), an activation unit (), an ejection unit (), a monitoring/control unit () and a user unit/interface (), as well as at least one effect body (). This system () is integrated at the front in a flying carrier (), and a modular system (), with the object of positioning spoof measures in a defined manner, in this case by means of the effect body (). The various effect bodies () are preferably activated and initiated in a controlled manner without any physical contact, in the same way as pneumatic or mechanical ejection of these effect bodies (). The effect bodies () are packets without any munitions, and are responsible for the actual effect of the system () outside the carrier ().
