Good for you Viper :)

Anyone know what countermeasure that is?
I have seen several shots of the B-1 launching and it certainly looks much more impressive than standard flares- especially the fact that it's self propelled to help confuse 3rd gen IR energy tracking missiles.

It's a B-1B (to be more specific ;) ).  Those are not JDAMs, rather they are 500lb high drag bombs.  The flare is just a flare, probably looks a lil' different due to glare.

The bombs are probably Mk.82 Retarded Bombs, with Ballutes deploying. The bombs are armed by the retard sensor of the FMU-139 Fuze system, which senses the deceleration of the bomb.

I'm just a crew chief, fix 'em and fuel 'em.... I was too mechanically inclined to be a weapons puke ;)  Now if you want to know how the landing gear retraction sequence works or where the circuit breaker for the left windshield heat is located just give me a ring :D

They are not JDAMs, no if's and's or but's.  The bright object above and behind the Lancer is a flare, nothing more.  The flare and chaff launchers are located not far aft of the crew compartment on the backbone, they launch upwards and are carried aft by airflow.

I'm familiar with the FMU-139 because I designed the deceleration sensor back in 1984. We still manufacture it. We also manufacture the backup detonation impact sensor for the JDAM, and supply sensors for just about every other bomb and missile in the inventory, from TOW3 to Hellfire to Standard Missile.
Included in the long list are the TMD (Tactical Munitions Dispenser) and Mk.48 ADCAP torpedo, which I have hardware on as well. Back in the 1970s, I was a flying Crew Chief, Flight Engineer and Loadmaster on several Navy types. These include the S-2E, US-2B, C-1A, HU-16D, C-131F and C-118B. Crew Chiefs are the backbone of military aviation. Without them, nothing gets airborne.

My regards,

Widewing
