The LIDACS (INSERT ACRONYM HERE) Counter-measures suite is a multimode system of passive electronic counter-measures used on aircraft.

Counter-Infrared

Flares

• 2F20: A universal pack of medium-sized high-heat magnesium-based flares.
  
  • 2F25: A universal pack of medium-sized, high-heat magnesium-based flares with parachutes attached for slower descent
    
• 3F30: A cocktail of both medium-sized and large-sized
  

Alkyl Aluminum-based pyrophoric flare

• 9F15: The current first-pick for low-flying attack aircraft and CAS missions, the 9F15 includes a "cocktail" of both high-heat MTV-based flares,(with and without parachutes), AA-based pyrophoric flares, and PP/HO spectrally balanced flares (with and without parachutes). The 9F15 can also semi-vertically (up to 65^o) eject flares rearward.
  
  • 9F15ER:: A 9F15 module modified for delayed ejection where the flares are ejected at a slower pace rather than all at once to increase time in the air & distance traveled while shrouded by flares.

9F30: A similar pack to the 9F15 but adapted for higher-altitude missions. Includes a "cocktail" of both high-heat MTV-based flares,(with and without parachutes), AA-based pyrophoric flares, and a mix of both instant-ignition and delayed ignition PP/HO spectrally balanced flares (with and without parachutes). Because the AA-based pyrophoric flares require additional oxygen, they are physically larger and thus are in less quantity than the 9F15 despite constituting an equal proportion of the dispenser.

• • 9F30ER: Delayed ejection modification of 9F30.

SEDMS-2017

The Systeme d'Energea Defensiv Multispectrale is a directional-energy laser designed to target the seeker of an oncoming IR missile. By heating and exposing the seeker to intense point radiation, the system can either cause the missile to veer off course to the point the aircraft escapes the cone of engagement, or distort the target profile enough that it causes the seeker to reaquire the original target, at which point its assumed the aircraft has deployed flares.
