Abstract
In an ejection cavity defined by walls such as (753 and 754), an open decoy support body (70) in the form of a slide is placed, and equipped with a pyrotechnic ejection charge (709) and a transmitter (761) for igniting the ejection charge on command. In addition to the stopper (755) which closes the ejection orifice of the cavity, a retaining member (750) is provided, comprising along its edge V-shaped clips (751), whereof the point is directed towards the inside of the decoy launching cavity and keeps the decoys in place despite the high accelerations and vibrating stresses encountered in an aircraft. At the time of deployment of the decoy, the sliding of the slide will disengage the V-shaped clips (751), which allows a slow departure of the decoy support member.
