Growth drivers Case study: Next generation aircraft drive market growth

17

- Build-up of operational stockpiles of 3,000 flares per aircraft, but only for 50% of the actual fleet

- Training and test consumption of 150 flares per in-service aircraft per year (10% of war stock)

- New flares more expensive than the flares they replace

- Decoy user base expands as retiring platforms are sold on to new NATO and growing economies

Chemring sole supplier of decoys:

- 55mm flare and spectral variant unique to

Typhoon

- Additional opportunity for BOL chaff & IR

Special Material Decoys

Chemring’s Special Material Decoys

rapidly oxidise in air to generate an

Infra-Red signature to protect against

advanced heat-seeking air-to-air and

surface-to-air missile threats.

Used on multiple platforms including

fast-jets, helicopters and transport

aircraft.

Material is dispensed from

conventional cartridges, or a BOL

dispenser to provide a pre-emptive

solution to prevent missile lock-on

before launch.
