TheAN/ALE-50 towed decoy systemis an electronic countermeasure tool designed byRaytheonto protect multiple US military aircraft from air-to-air and surface-to-airradar-guided missiles.The AN/ALE-50 towed decoy system is an anti-missilecountermeasures decoy systemused on U.S.Air Force,Navy, andMarine Corpsaircraft, and by certain non-United States air forces. The system was manufactured byRaytheon Space and Airborne Systems at its facility inGoleta, California. The ALE-50 system consists of a launcher and launch controller installed on the aircraft (usually on a wing pylon), and one or more expendable toweddecoys.
When deployed, the decoy is towed behind the host aircraft, protecting the aircraft and its crew against RF-guidedmissilesby luring the missile toward the decoy and away from the intended target. In both flight tests and actual combat, the ALE-50 has successfully countered numerous live firings of both surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles. U.S. military pilots have nicknamed the decoy "Little Buddy". The system requires no threat-specific software, and communicates its health and status to the aircraft over a standard data bus.
