Seagnat

Each unit consists of six launchers that can be loaded with different rounds, depending on the threat:[1] The rounds are launched as decoys to trick incoming missiles into missing the ship or to prematurely detonating.

Rounds are launched from NATO standard 130mm Mark 36 SRBOC launchers, either fixed or trainable, and typically mounted in groups of around six barrels.

[2] The Active Decoy Round has three phases: a low g rocket motor to project it away from the ship, a drogue to slow the round, and a parasail wing that allows the decoy to slowly maneuver as it descends to the water.

It is powered by a thermal battery and its on-board computer allows the transmitters to radiate in either deception mode or noise (smart or barrage).
