Abstract (en)
A float (4), for a device (1) air-launched into the sea, in particular for a countermeasure, has a casing (6) and a bag (24), which is inflatable by two pressurized-gas cylinders (25) and is located, when inflated, at least partly outside the casing (6); inflation by the cylinders (25) is activated by an inertial mass (27) movable in response to deceleration of the casing (6) caused by immersion of the device (1) into the sea. The float (4) further comprises flight stabilizing members (15) movable between a launch position, in which they are closed against a lateral wall (8) of said casing (6), and a flight position in which they extend outwards from said lateral wall (8). The float (4) further comprises retaining means (21,22) for retaining a cover (7) closing an opening (10) defined by said lateral wall (8). The retaining means (21,22) are movable from a retaining configuration to a release configuration in response to movement of said flight stabilizing means (15).
