A dispenser module for storing and launching countermeasures on an aircraft, comprising a magazine formed by a plurality of cartridges adapted to each hold a countermeasure where the dispenser module is adapted to be mounted in a side wall of an aircraft pylon structure, where the dispenser module comprises a spoiler and a hatch, where the magazine is mounted to the hatch, where the dispenser module is adapted to assume a first idle state in which the spoiler and the hatch are retracted to be flush with the side wall before a countermeasure has been launched, and where the dispenser module is adapted to at least assume a second active state in which the spoiler and the hatch extend outwards from the side wall when a countermeasure is to be launched, and where the dispenser module is adapted to retract to the idle state when a countermeasure has been launched.
A dispenser module for storing and launching countermeasures on an aircraft, comprising a magazine formed by a plurality of cartridges adapted to each hold a countermeasure, characterized in that the dispenser module is adapted to be mounted in a side wall of an aircraft fuselage or aircraft pylon structure, where the dispenser module comprises a spoiler, wherein the spoiler is positioned at a front part of the dispenser module, and a hatch, wherein the hatch is positioned at a rear part of the dispenser module, where the magazine is mounted to the hatch, where the dispenser module is adapted to assume a first idle state in which the spoiler and the hatch are retracted to be flush with the side wall before a countermeasure has been launched, where the dispenser module is adapted to assume a second active state in which the spoiler and the hatch extend outwards from the side wall when a countermeasure is to be launched, and where the dispenser module is adapted to retract to the idle state when a countermeasure has been launched.
A method for launching a countermeasure from a dispenser module mounted on an aircraft, where the countermeasure is arranged in a cartridge, where the dispenser module comprises a plurality of cartridges and where the dispenser module comprises a spoiler and a hatch 404, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
