Abstract: 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).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and a method for dispensing detection of a pyrotechnical countermeasure in a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser system (1). The method comprises: —providing a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser control unit (4) with a recoil-sensing device (5), wherein upon activation of a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispensing command, —monitoring the sensing of a recoil signal (8) from the recoil-sensing device (5) during a monitoring window (6), —determining that a dispensing of the pyrotechnical countermeasure from a pyrotechnical countermeasure cartridge (3) has occurred upon detection of the recoil signal (8) exceeding a recoil detection threshold value (9) during the monitoring window (6), —determining that a misfire of the pyrotechnical countermeasure has occurred upon no detection of the recoil signal (8) during the monitoring window (6).
