The disclosure relates to an electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) arranged to be loaded into a countermeasure dispenser (7) in a mobile platform (1). The electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) comprises an electromagnetic transmitting means (8), an electric energy storage (9) arranged to supply the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) with electric energy and a trigger device (10) arranged to trigger a transmission of electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) upon detection of an incoming threat (2). The transmitted electromagnetic radiation is arranged to irradiate an electromagnetically reflective material (3) dispensed from the countermeasure dispenser (7). The disclosure also relates to a method for providing threat protection for a platform (1) and to a countermeasure system comprising a countermeasure dispenser (7).
Electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) arranged to be loaded into a countermeasure dispenser (7) in a mobile platform (1), characterized in that the electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) comprises an electromagnetic transmitting means (8), an electric energy storage (9) arranged to supply the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) with electric energy and a trigger device (10) arranged to trigger a transmission of electromagnetic radiation from the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) upon detection of an incoming threat (2), wherein the transmitted electromagnetic radiation is arranged to irradiate an electromagnetically reflective material (3) dispensed from at least one reflective material countermeasure cartridge comprising an electromagnetically reflective material arranged in the countermeasure dispenser (7).
Method for providing threat protection for a platform (1), wherein the method comprises:
Countermeasure system comprising a countermeasure dispenser (7) arranged in a platform (1), an electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) comprising an electromagnetic transmitting means (8), an electric energy storage (9) arranged to supply the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) with energy, a trigger device (10) arranged to trigger a transmission of the electromagnetic transmitting means (8) and a reflective material countermeasure cartridge (11) comprising an electromagnetically reflective material (3) arranged in the countermeasure dispenser (7), wherein the electronic countermeasure cartridge (6) is arranged in the countermeasure dispenser (7), wherein the system is, in response to a threat (2), configured for:
