Description
As the Navy works to expand its capabilities against advanced seekers, there may be an opportunity to create pyrophoric countermeasures with carefully timed dispersion characteristics. The ideal pyrophoric countermeasure would rapidly maximize its cross-sectional area to make a desirable target in a pattern or shape which draws the seeker as far away from the aircraft as possible. A linear dispensing pattern consisting of multiple spaced packets may achieve this affect. In this proposal, Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory (RMSL) presents two novel concepts for the timed dissemination of pyrophoric foils from a MJU-49/B compatible sub-payload. Downselected candidate payload design(s) will be fabricated for field impulse cartridge ejection testing using inert foils at the end of the Phase I effort.
