Vintage B-52 Chaff Dispenser store - Radar Countermeasure Control Box - Super Nice!!!!

This is really cool! It is a chaff dispenser for a B-52 Bomber. Below is a description of how it functions. Might work to block your mother-in-law's cell phone (maybe not). It has a light dimmer that works like an iris on a camera. Looks like some are New Old Stock and some have been used . Expect some wear and/or dust - they clean up nice!!! Would make a great gift for your aviator!

Chaff - Radar Countermeasures

Chaff and flares are defensive mechanisms employed from military aircraft to avoid detection and/or attack by adversary air defense systems. Chaff consists of small fibers that reflect radar signals and when dispensed in large quantities from aircraft, form a cloud that temporarily hides the aircraft from radar detection. The two major types of military chaff in use are aluminium foil and aluminium-coated glass fibers. The aluminium foil-type is no longer manufactured, although it may still be in use.

I've got a few packages of aluminum chaff listed. This would be a perfect addition to the chaff dispenser. It comes in a box with a string on the outside. The string pulls the box apart and a wind up timer starts. At some point, a parachute opens and the chaff is released. store If you
are interested I encourage you to buy now - very limited supply.

Thanks to all my past and future clients!!!
