What are small devices jettisoned from an aircraft capable of emitting Electronic Deception signals?

Expendable decoys are specifically designed to be deployed from aircraft to emit electronic deception signals, aimed at misleading enemy radar and targeting systems. These devices create false targets, making it difficult for enemy systems to accurately detect or engage the actual aircraft. They work by mimicking the electronic signature of the aircraft, thereby diverting attention and potentially causing enemy weapon systems to waste resources on these decoys instead of the actual platform.

The other options refer to different technologies. Drones can have a variety of functions, including surveillance and reconnaissance, but they typically do not specifically emit electronic deception signals in the context described. Chaff is used to disrupt radar signals but operates on a different principle, as it creates a physical cloud of reflective material rather than generating misleading electronic emissions. Charge particle beam weapons do not relate at all, as they are a type of direct energy weapon rather than an electronic warfare tool for deception.
