ECLAIR-M

ADDITIONAL DECOY DISPENSER FOR MIRAGE 2000 SERIES

  • Increases the internal IR flare capacity by 4 times
  • Completely integrated on to the Mirage 2000 EW suite
  • Preserves carrier aircraft’s aerodynamic qualities
  • In service within the French and export Air Forces

DESCRIPTION

ECLAIR-M is a highly effective subsystem that is able to protect combat aircraft against attacking missiles. To counter modern threat such subsystems are required.

However, increasing the decoy capacity of individual platforms, while not compromising the available internal and external space capacity of aircraft, remains a constant cause for concern.

  • ECLAIR-M is the complementary decoy dispenser to SPIRALE, the chaff and flare dispensing system for all variants of the Mirage 2000
  • ECLAIR-M increases the basic IR flare capacity of SPIRALE by 4 times
  • Chaff cartridges can also be used
  • ECLAIR-M is housed in the dragchute bay of the Mirage 2000 in order to keep the hard points clean
  • ECLAIR-M is completely integrated within the ICMS EW suite of the Mirage 2000 developed in co-operation with Thales. It is in service with the French and export Air Forces
