Flare Ejector Set

A Flare Ejector Set is a type of equipment used in Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), Counter-Countermeasures (CCM), and Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) systems. It falls under the supply class of Electronic Countermeasures, Counter-Countermeasures And Quick Reaction Capability Equipment in the supply group Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Flare Ejector Sets are designed to deploy flares, which are small, self-contained pyrotechnic devices that produce a bright light and heat signature. These flares are used as a defensive measure against heat-seeking missiles and other infrared-guided threats.

The Flare Ejector Set typically consists of a housing or container that holds a number of flares, as well as a mechanism for ejecting the flares into the air. The set is usually installed on aircraft, helicopters, or other military vehicles that require protection against infrared-guided threats.

When a threat is detected, the Flare Ejector Set is activated, and the flares are launched into the air. The bright light and heat signature produced by the flares divert the attention of the incoming missile or threat away from the aircraft or vehicle, increasing its chances of evading the attack.

Flare Ejector Sets are an essential component of ECM, CCM, and QRC systems, providing a crucial defensive capability against infrared-guided threats.
