Decoy Launcher
Not really sure at all, I have never heard or read "lanza engaños" before. It actually seems like it came out of an automated translation.
"engaño" could refer to chaff, flares or countermeasures, but decoy sounds a bit better to me, and it is a term in use.
Hope it helped.

chaff or decoy launcher
Esto lo usa la armada y también los avione smilitares, para desviar ataques de proyectiles, pero si se trata de señales de radio engañosas entonces "decoy" es más adecuado.

"Lanza engaños" debe ser una doble traducción (alguien tradujo decoy dispenser como lanza engaños cuando la verdadera traducción sería lanza señuelos"

Elvira Domínguez Francesch
: lanza engaños suena a una mala traducción del francés (lance-leurres; un leurre es también un engaño).
