Abstract
A decoy-launching pack for mounting on a directional carriage for foiling or frustrating weapons guidance systems. The pack comprises a rigid base suitable for positioning in a predetermined manner on said carriage, a firing means incorporated with said base for operation in conjunction with a firing-control component integrated in said carriage when said base is located thereupon, and a support located above and secured to said base and having the rack-shaped upper surface defining predetermined angled slopes. A firing transmission pyrotechnical chain extends from said firing means to the level of said angled slopes of the upper surface of said support, and a plurality of mortars are arranged with an ejection charge at the bottom bearing upon said angled slopes of said upper surface of said support, said mortars being predirected in the same plane, according to predetermined angles related to those of said angled slopes of the support surface. At least one decoy carrying projectile is located within each mortar.
