CAST-zero+ is a versatile and user-friendly electronic chaff and flare emulator, which additionally allows the voltage of decoy distributors to be tested quickly and reliably. CAST-zero+ is intended for use on the ground.

That features CAST-zero+

Cost-effective

Like CAST-easy, this system is also extremely cost-effective on account of its reusability. Also CAST-zero+ does not use any pyrotechnics, which makes handling and dispatch easy. The system is also rechargeable.

Versatile

CAST-zero+ is very versatile: Voltage tester and chaff and flare emulator are in combined in one unit. The system can be used to reproduce all possible scenarios of decoy ejection and can also simulate a failed decoy ejection. CAST-zero+ is compatible with all dispensers using 1 × 1" cartridges and enables end-to-end testing, especially in combination with the 4-in-1 sensor tester missim.

Reliable and user friendly

The system is based on the proven CAST-easy model and is simple, robust and user-friendly. Just one push of a button enables voltage measurement as well as chaff and flare emulation. An optional IR remote control facilitates the simple, simultaneous operation of several units.
