Advanced spectral flares against IR heat-seeking missiles
SPARCS-FLARES advanced spectral flares protect aircraft against the most advanced air-to-air and surface-to-air heat-seeking missiles in the modern battlefield. The flares are used on a wide range of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
SPARC-1 is a unique, small-size flare designed to provide protection and enhanced survivability for low signature aircraft with a limited payload, such as light helicopters and UAS, against advanced threats. Featuring excellent high energetic properties, the flare effectively defeats both advanced and earlier generation threats.
