Bomb flare SPM-100A
PURPOSE OF USE
Bomb flare SPM-100A is intended for simulating of aerial target. It was developed from Flare Parachute Target SPM-100.
The reflector system was removed from the original SPM-100, but dimensions of torch system are enlarged.
This change in structure with using of new illuminating composition leads to substantial increase of glow force system from 900 000 cd to 2 000 000 cd.
The target SPM-100A can be striked down with missiles equipped with radiolocation guidance system or system for aiming within infrared radiation range.
Bomb dropping of SPM-100A can be performed with any kind of aircrafts Russian production like MiG, Su and their modifications in other counties.
Technical maintenance and using of the target SPM-100A is completely identical to this of target SPM-100.
Flare bomb SPM-100A can be used also as illuminating bomb.
