ADM-141A

The ADM-141A Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (TALD) is an expendable air-launched decoy used by military aircraft to deceive and distract enemy air defenses.

Speed: Up to Mach 0.8 (460 km/h, 250 kt)
Altitude: up to 30,000 feet
Propulsion: None.
Guidance system: None, glides along the launch vector.
Payload: electronic countermeasures to simulate radar signature and flight characteristics of friendly aircraft.

The ADM-141A Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (TALD) has a range of approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) when flown at high altitude, typically above 30,000 feet. However, at low altitude, the range of the TALD may be somewhat shorter due to increased atmospheric drag and other factors. The exact range of the TALD at low altitude would depend on a variety of factors, such as the specific altitude, airspeed, weather conditions, and mission profile.

The ADM-141A is designed to be launched from an aircraft and use its stored kinetic energy to glide and simulate the radar signature of a real aircraft. It is an important tool for military aircraft to help them penetrate and survive in contested airspace by confusing and misleading enemy air defenses.
