Abstract
A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a pivot able cover arranged in the launch opening, where the cover, in a closed state, is adapted to close the launch opening such that the cartridges are covered. The cover is adapted to open when a force from a fired countermeasure is acting on a mounting plate. The advantage of the invention is that a cover covering the countermeasure scan be opened in a fully mechanical way, by the use of the reactional force of the countermeasure. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.
