The K7 Type 1 is used in aircraft countermeasures systems to combat heat-seeking missiles with rate rejection capability. The flare can be housed in a 218 format multiple shot magazine as fitted to countermeasures dispensing sets AN/ ALE 40, 45 and 47 series, M130/M147, MBDA, Terma, MES, Rokar, SAAB Avitronics and Thales systems, for example. The Impulse Cartridge is fitted during manufacture of the flare and provides the means of ejecting the thrusted payload. The flare is a direct fit and form equivalent of the US MJU 7A/B Flare but provides a flare trajectory tailored to overcome rate-bias countermeasure systems.
