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 65o) 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.
