AN/ALE-47 Flare Dispenser

Two parts on one 30-cell body, one loaded with fifteen MJU-7 flares and the other with thirty RR-170 chaff cartridges, as a real magazine section takes one kind. Each surface-attaches to anything and throws out of its face, so the loadout is chosen by what is fitted. A flare takes a heat seeker looking at it; chaff takes a radar one, but a Doppler seeker only while the target flies square to the missile, because chaff stops dead in the air. Fired by hand from the craft's countermeasures row, or left to answer on its own when a missile comes for it. See Countermeasures.
