BriteCloud Expendable Active Decoy (EAD) selected for Gripen

Selex ES’ BriteCloud Expendable Active Decoy (EAD) has been selected by Saab for the Gripen fighter.

BriteCloud is an off-board jamming device that is dispensed from a standard 55mm flare cartridge and powered by batteries. BriteCloud draws threats away from the host platform by coping incoming radar pulses and uses them to simulate a ‘false target.’
