An infrared decoy flare (10) having enhanced infrared intensity is disclosed. The flare includes a case (12) in which an infrared illuminant composition (14) is disposed. The bore diameter and length of the case are advantageously selected to be compatible with preexisting chaff dispensers and their cartridges located on aircraft. The illuminant composition, the nozzle throat area, the geometry of the illuminant composition, and the volume of the combustion chamber are selected such that combustion of the illuminant composition results in an unstable combustion condition during the first second of combustion, thereby increasing the peak intensity of the radiation emitted by the propellant. Preferably, the flare is configured such that the unstable combustion occurs during the first 0.2 to 0.5 seconds of combustion of the illuminant composition.

Leurre (10) infrarouge à intensité infrarouge renforcée. Le leurre comporte une structure (12) dans laquelle est placée une composition (14) éclairante infrarouge. Le diamètre de l'âme et la longueur de la structure sont choisies de façon avantageuse en vue d'une compatibilité avec les distributeurs de paillettes préexistants et leurs cartouches situées sur l'aéronef. La composition éclairante, la zone du col de tuyère, la géométrie de la composition éclairante et le volume de la chambre de combustion sont choisis de telle façon que la combustion de la composition éclairante provoque un état de combustion instable pendant la première seconde de combustion, ce qui augmente l'intensité maximale de la radiation émise par l'agent propulseur. De préférence, le leurre est configuré de telle façon que la combustion instable se produit au cours d'un intervalle de 0,2 à 0,5 secondes après le début de la combustion de la composition éclairante.
