Evil_Toast_RSA Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Managed to get a 1/72 Canberra PR.9 recently, and whilst browsing the instructions I saw this pair of missile looking things to be used for one of the marking options. But what is it? I'm guessing its a chaff or countermeasure pod, but my Google-fu is weak and can't find out what it is. Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Seldom used, though, from what I remember, if you want to use them you will need to reduce the height of the wing pylons as they are too deep. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I believe the BoZ-107 was configured for chaff and flares, depending on the dispensing program, or am I incorrect here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what I understand too. The Boz pods incurred a very large fatigue index on the wings that's why they didn't get used much, in 2005 they were replaced as part of SEN/CAN/232 introduces a Vicon 78 series 445 countermeasures dispensing system. The system provides a passive countermeasures capability against a variety of infrared and radar seeking air or ground launched missiles and anti-aircraft artillery systems. Manual control of the system allowed the aircrew to launch decoy chaff and flares when a threat was detected visually or electronically.
