Kanfit manufactures composite chaff and flare magazines using resin transfer molding (RTM) technology for improved magazine accuracy, extended durability and enhanced reproducibility. Using this technology, Kanfit is able to manufacture magazines that are significantly lighter in weight than those made from metals. Kanfit’s chaff and flare magazines are produced in one-shot, with the metallic inserts embedded into the component and in one piece. This ensures zero failure points because there are no seams, bonding, assemblies, etc. Components are delivered ready to install directly to the customer.
Kanfit has manufactured more than 7,000 chaff and flare magazines for use by air forces around the world. Our record speaks for itself—not a single manufacturing failure has ever been reported. According to customer feedback, Kanfit’s chaff and flare magazines provide 100% reliability, the longest life cycle and offer the highest level of performance on aircraft. Tests results for ALE-47 CMDS magazines, in which ten full rounds of 5 x 6 flares were sequentially fired, show that Kanfit’s chaff and flare magazines remained as durable and robust as when first fired. Kanfit’s products comply with US military testing standards MIL-STD-810, EMI/RFI, MIL-STD-461F.
By combining our expertise in materials and engineering, Kanfit is able to meet each customer’s specific operational requirements and specifications for manufacturing chaff, flare and decoy systems. Kanfit also manufactures breech plates and magazine housings (bucket) and components for anti-missile air defense systems and SATCOM radomes.
