Our related electronic countermeasure (ECM) products

Advanced Countermeasures Dispenser System (ACDS) is an airborne, computer-controlled, self-defense system that operates as a stand-alone system with enhanced capabilities for chaff, flare, and advanced decoy dispensing.
Advanced Digital Dispensing System (ADDS) is a computer-controlled, threat-adaptive, countermeasure dispensing system that dispenses decoy payloads to protect aircraft from ground and air threats. Unlike competitors, ADDS can fire dual-chaff cartridges that double the number of on-board chaff stores per mission.

Our test gear for ECM dispensing systems and airborne munitions

Smart Breech Plate Adapter (SBPA-V2) is an advanced, easy-to-use, low-cost tester that improves aircraft readiness by performing fast and reliable flight-line safety and functional checks. It also shortens the dispensing system’s maintenance cycle.
ALM-288, ALM-293 and ALM-294 Countermeasure Dispenser Tester (CDTS) is a self-contained, battery-powered flight-line tester that improves aircraft readiness by performing fast and reliable flight-line safety and functional checks of the countermeasure dispenser system.
Functional and Stray-voltage Tester (FAST) improves aircraft and helicopter readiness by performing fast and reliable flight-line safety and functional checks of the weapon control system.
Modular I-Level Test Equipment (MATE) is a PC-based lower-level test bench. MATE runs automatic tests on the BAE Systems ACDS and generates reports based on the test results.
