    Abstract: Various countermeasure dispensing systems (or CMDSs) and method of use are described herein. CMDS may include a dispenser assembly operably engaged with a platform where at least one electrical connection provides electrical communication between the dispenser assembly and a sequencer. CMDS may also include a magazine assembly operably engaged with the dispenser assembly, wherein the magazine assembly comprises a magazine configured to hold at least two countermeasure expendables. CMDS may also include a breechplate assembly operably engaged with the magazine assembly and adapted to dispense the at least two countermeasure expendables. CMDS may also include at least one magazine identification switch (MIS) operably engaged with the magazine assembly and the breechplate assembly. CMDS may also include that the at least one MIS is configured to enable the sequencer and the breechplate assembly to selectively dispense at least one countermeasure expendable from the at least two countermeasure expendables.

    Abstract: Various countermeasure expendables and methods of using said countermeasure expendables are provided herein. A countermeasure expendable comprising a canister. The countermeasure expendable includes at least one countermeasure payload operably engaged inside the canister, the at least one countermeasure payload having a volume of countermeasure material. The countermeasure expendable includes a squib operably engaged inside of the canister, wherein the squib is configured to propel the at least one countermeasure payload outside of the canister. The countermeasure expendable includes at least one time delaying assembly operably engaged with the at least one countermeasure payload, wherein the time delaying assembly is configured to dispense the volume of countermeasure material from the at least one countermeasure payload at a predetermined time interval.
