Term: Countermeasures


Definition:

Used by airborne vehicles in defence against air-to-air missiles (AAM) or surface-to-air missiles (SAM). Tracking signals are jammed using jammers or physical decoys are deployed, such as chaff, which distrupts radar tracking, and flares, which disrupt infra-red or heat-seeking missiles.
