The RR170 Chaff Cartridge forms part of a defensive aids system to protect the host aircraft from passive radar guided missile threats and tracking systems by providing a suitable alternative and preferred target or 'decoy'. The purpose of the decoy is to ensure that the passive radar guided missile passes the target aircraft by an effective miss distance.
The Chemring Countermeasures Cartridge is a direct fit, form and function replacement for those of USA origin. The chaff cuts are optimised to provide a broad-band radar return signal but the radar cross section profile can be manipulated by incorporating differing chaff cuts to meet the demands of specific end user requirements.
The Waterproof End Cap eliminates the problems of moisture ingress and this makes the cartridge extremely suitable for use in high humidity environments.
The product can be built to any specification (chaff cut) required.
