Flare air speed simulation test device

A linear air speed simulation device for testing countermeasures comprising:

• a frame;
• a wheel and a pair of countermeasure dispensers on opposite sides of said wheel;
• a motor;
• a countermeasure firing system and circuitry;
• at least one countermeasure;
• a controller;
• and
• a firing circuit power supply;
• wherein a linear speed value is inputted into said controller, causing said motor to rotate at least one countermeasure dispenser around said radius at a revolutions per minute equal to said inputted linear speed value divided by said radius times two times pi times 60;
• wherein said countermeasure firing system and circuitry monitors speed and position of said countermeasure as it rotates and causes dispensing of said countermeasure in a desired direction once said linear speed value and said revolutions per minute value are equal.

A linear air speed simulation device for testing countermeasures comprising:

• a base;
• a vertical frame;
• a vertically rotating arm with a countermeasure dispenser at one end and a counterweight or second countermeasure dispenser at an opposite end;
• a controller;
• and
• a firing circuit power supply;
• wherein a linear speed value is inputted into said controller, causing said motor to rotate at least one countermeasure dispenser around said radius at a revolutions per minute equal to said inputted linear speed value divided by said radius times two times pi times 60;
• wherein said countermeasure firing system and circuitry monitors speed and position of said countermeasure as it rotates and causes dispensing of said countermeasure in a desired direction once said linear speed value and said revolutions per minute value are equal.
