Countermeasure

Countermeasures is a system used to generally divert various incoming attacks ranging from heat seeking missiles to general small arms fire. Technological Countermeasures used in the Battlefield series generally are used for diverting incoming projectiles with various systems including, IR flares, IR smoke, Ecm jammers, and others. The way technological countermeasures work in the Battlefield series is generally by ejecting a type of "decoy" to throw the guided projectile off course by having it follow a new source such as flares presenting a higher heat source therefore making it the new target of a heat seeking missile. Strategical countermeasures are generally a strategy and can be as simple as returning fire and retreating.
