Growth drivers Case study: Next generation aircraft drive market growth
- 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- Potential export opportunities remain in

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.

Countermeasures - Capabilities Naval launcherChemring’s CENTURION launcher is a twelve barrelled fully trainable launcher that optimises decoy placement, minimising the need for ship manoeuvre, delivering rapid, accurate and enhanced protection, increasing survivability and sustainment of naval platforms.
Centurion provides a major improvement in ship borne EW defensive capabilities and can also address surface threats, torpedo threats, and has the potential for longer range offensive capability.
CENTURION delivers accurate payload placement to maximise decoy effectiveness
CENTURION can be configured with a range of 130mm rounds, as well as being adaptable to other calibres, to suit mission profiles.
CENTURION can be easily retro-fitted to a broad number of platforms as well as operating autonomously on a range of vessels.
