According to the U.S. Raytheon May 25, 2011 reported recently, the U.S. funded development of Raytheon’s use of its own small air-launched decoy (MALD) transport of air-launched System (MCALS) from the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft fired on two small test device installed air-launched decoys, this marks the MALD’s first deployment in the transport plane.
MALD is a programmable, modular air-launched decoy missile, weighing less than 136 kilograms (300 pounds), a range of about 926 km (500 sea miles). MALD series includes basic and interference type (MALD-J) two. MCALS as steel, cage-like structure capable of loading eight MALD. MCALS can be installed in the transport standard transport pallets, and quickly launch a pre-set height of MALD. After injection, MALD wing will start to activate the engine ignition sequence.
basic MALD is already in production stage, through the imitation of American and allied combat aircraft flight envelope signal and to protect the crew and aircraft systems. MALD-J emergence of the interference can replace manned aircraft or interference with the use of aircraft to reduce the number of people to protect the crew and aircraft systems.
