Anti-Missile Countermeasures are a type of pyrotechnic device used in the field of defense and military operations. They are designed to counter or neutralize incoming missile threats, such as guided missiles or projectiles.

These countermeasures are typically deployed from aircraft, naval vessels, or ground-based systems to protect against missile attacks. They work by emitting various types of pyrotechnic materials, such as flares or chaff, which can confuse or divert the incoming missiles.

Flares are used to create a bright light source that can distract heat-seeking missiles by drawing their attention away from the intended target. Chaff, on the other hand, consists of small metallic or plastic strips that are released into the air to create a cloud of reflective material. This cloud can confuse radar-guided missiles by creating multiple targets, making it difficult for them to lock onto the intended target.

Anti-Missile Countermeasures are an essential component of modern military defense systems, providing a means to protect against missile threats and increase the survivability of military assets. They are classified under the supply class Pyrotechnics and fall within the supply group Ammunition and Explosives due to their explosive nature and use in military operations.
