[[Infrared homing]] systems can be decoyed with [[Flare (countermeasure)|flares]]<ref name="proceedings" /> and other [[infrared countermeasure]]s. [[Acoustic homing]] and detection systems used for ships are also susceptible to countermeasures.  [[United States]] warships use Masker and PRAIRIE (propeller AIR Ingestion and Emission) systems to create small air bubbles around a ship's hull and wake to reduce sound transmission.<ref name="proceedings" />  Surface ships tow noisemakers like the [[AN/SLQ-25 Nixie]] to decoy homing torpedoes.<ref name="proceedings" />  Submarines can deploy similar acoustic device countermeasures (or ADCs) from a 3-inch (75-mm) signal launching tube.<ref name="proceedings" />  United States ballistic missile submarines could deploy the Mark 70 MOSS ([[Mobile submarine simulator]]) decoy from torpedo tubes to simulate a full size submarine.<ref name="proceedings" /> Most navies additionally equip ships with decoy launchers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.terma.com/media/118849/skws_022007.pdf |title=Terma SKWS Decoy Launching System |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130426191854/http://terma.com/media/118849/skws_022007.pdf |archive-date=2013-04-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
