Munition constituting a cartridge-launcher loader, in particular for countermeasure cartridge-launcher on aircraft

摘要

A munition constituting a cartridge-launcher loader comprises a plurality of consumable modules each in the form of a flat strip of juxtaposed cartridges each comprising a payload of chaff, an ejector pyrotechnic charge, an electrical initiator, and a reusable support receiving the strips. The support has a system for immobilizing the strips and a handle for transporting and installing it. The strips are juxtaposed at their flat surface to perform a homogeneous block essentially constituting the body of the munition or a part thereof. The support includes a fixed plate carrying the strips and receiving the latter, when they are inserted, by virtue of them sliding in a general direction parallel to the plane of the plate.
