The Nulka is an active missile decoy designed and built by an American/Australian collaboration. Deployed on some USN and RAN warships, the Nulka is a rocket propelled, disposable, offboard, active decoy designed to seduce anti-ship missiles away from their targets.

The Nulka is a unique hovering rocket, which hovers in mid air while seducing the incoming anti-ship missile.

The Nulka consists of the missile itself enclosed in a hermetically sealed canister. This canister is then contained in a Launcher module (as fitted to RAN vessels), or a MK47 Launcher (as fitted to USN vessels).
