This paper sorts out the development context of the airborne self-defense terminal countermeasure decoy, introduces the development process of three types of equipment from foil strips, infrared bait to air-launched bait, and analyzes the characteristics of the airborne self-defense terminal countermeasure decoy that follows the trend of the times and advances with the times. This paper puts forward the new requirements for independent decision-making and independent learning of unmanned weapons and equipment in intelligent warfare and the new situation of unmanned combat to break the traditional offensive and defensive thinking. In view of the continuous expansion of the field of electronic countermeasures and the new requirements of independent decision-making and independent learning of unmanned weapons and equipment, several enlightenments have been drawn about the development of airborne self-defense terminal confrontation decoys.
