	* '''I'''nfra'''r'''ed '''c'''ounter'''m'''easures include light energy emitted from non-coherent flashlamps and direct it towards an incoming missile in an attempt to blind the missile's infrared sensors. Low-powered infrared carrier signals emitted from the flashlamps flood the missile's infrared receivers and "confuse" the missile and cause it to follow a false target or a high-powered infrared carrier will blind the missile causing it to lose its target lock.		* '''I'''nfra'''r'''ed '''c'''ounter'''m'''easures include light energy emitted from non-coherent flashlamps and direct it towards an incoming missile in an attempt to blind the missile's infrared sensors.

	* Chaff refers to clouds of fibres (often metal or plastic) released by aircraft to create false radar signatures. The signals reflect off the chaff, causing new decoy signatures to appear on radar, which can cause an active radar lock to switch to tracking them instead and disguise the real target in their midst. Some aircraft have access to "large calibre" chaff, which are individually more effective than normal chaff at the expense of being able to carry fewer releases. Note that chaff is typically ineffective against pulse-Doppler radars, as it slows down extremely quickly once released and can thus be filtered out by the radar (much like ground clutter).		* Chaff refers to clouds of fibres (often metal or plastic) released by aircraft to create false radar signatures.

 ;Flares
-* Flares are infrared countermeasures fired off by aircraft to counter infrared homing (heat-seeking) missiles. A flare is considered a decoy, depending on the material it is made from to either burn as hot or hotter than the aircraft's exhaust in an attempt to cause the missile to target it. Typically flares are fired off in multiples to increase chances of distracting the incoming missile from its intended target. Some aircraft have a lesser number of available flares but with a greater size, which can be more effective.
