Review on the Research of Miniature Air-Launched Decoy Weapon of the US Army

The miniature air-launched decoy is an air-launched electronic countermeasure aircraft of the US army, which can perform various battlefield missions such as reconnaissance, decoy, suppression and strike.Relying on the decoy platform, the decoy has continuously expanded its potential capability. It has developed from a simple electronic decoy consumable weapon to a comprehensive radio frequency decoy based on modular payload design, which can play an important role in the entire equipment system and combat mode of the US army. Based on the introduction of the miniature air-launched decoy, the paper analyzes its battlefield application mode and some key technologies supporting the combat, and prospects the future development and application of the integrated radio frequency decoy equipment.
