A FLARE FOR MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
The 118 Mk3 Type 8 flare is used in aircraft countermeasure systems to combat IR heat-seeking missiles. The Impulse Cartridge is fitted during manufacture of the flare and provides the means of ejecting the payload. The flare can be housed in a multiple shot magazine as fitted to countermeasure dispensing sets AN/ALE 40, 45 and 47 series, M130/M147, MBDA, Terma, MES, Rokar, SAAB Avitronics and Thales systems for example. The flare offers improved performance, reliability, and safety by way of a safe sequencer to ensure the flare remains safe until pyrotechnically ejected from its outer case.
