A '''swallow''' is an decoy drone used to lure enemy guided missiles away from a Colonial vessel, typically it is launched by the [[ECO]] as part of a Raptor's [[ECM]] suite.
A '''Swallow''' is an decoy drone used to lure enemy heat-seeking missiles away from a Colonial vessel.


These devices were deployed from [[Raptor 478]] to successfully lure away two missiles shot at it by a [[Cylon Raider]] during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] {{TRS|Miniseries}}.
These devices were deployed from [[Raptor 478]] to successfully lure away two missiles shot at it by a [[Cylon Raider]] during the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]] ([[Miniseries]]). Enough Swallows can produce signatures of Battlestar's if they are grouped together. ([[Exodus, Part II]])


Enough swallows can mimic the electrical "footprint," or signatures of other spacecraft, even that of [[Battlestar (RDM)|battlestars]] when programmed and grouped together {{TRS|Exodus, Part II}}.


==Notes==
The Raptor pilot deploys these and other devices by order to the [[ECO]].


* Swallows seem to serve as a combination [[w:Chaff (radar countermeasure)|chaff]], [[w:Decoy|decoy]], and [[w:Electronic countermeasures|electronic countermeasures]] suite.
