Abstract
A dispenser for storing and launching countermeasures from an aircraft, comprising an elongate body provided with at least one launch opening adapted for storing the countermeasures in cartridges, where the dispenser comprises a manoeuvrable spoiler arranged in front of the launch opening, where the spoiler is adapted to be fully retracted before a countermeasure has been launched, and that the spoiler is adapted to extend outwards in a predefined manner when a countermeasure has been launched. The advantage of the invention is that a spoiler will reduce induced noise from the open cartridges by extending a spoiler outwards depending on the number of launched countermeasures. This allows for a simple, reliable and cost-effective solution.
