The difference is, when a military pilot loads up his aircraft with a 4-G turn at the same time he punches out his flares, he doesn't have to worry about anyone in the back spilling their drinks.
Like I said, I'd like to see test reports where a straight and level heavy (drone) escaped a heat seeker using these military systems that expect some maneuvering going on.
This is "Let's install it and hope it works".

Can someone tell me how missile launch or approach is sensed in order to trigger flare deployment?
