Abstract
A magazine for storing and launching countermeasures arranged in cartridges, comprising a plurality of longitudinal cartridge cases forming the magazine, where the magazine comprises a tilting means adapted to tilt the cartridge cases, such that the openings of the cartridge cases can be directed in a selected direction, and where the magazine comprises a tracking system comprising an active position sensor adapted to detect the position of an incoming object. The advantage of the invention is that a countermeasure can be directed towards an incoming object before it is launched.
