Quick queston, whats an NAE Beacon?

[TLAM Strike]

I just got done reading Larry Bond's Dangerous Ground and on Pg. 393 the captain gives orders to "launch an NAE beacon". I did a quick search on Google and all I found was its designation 'MK 3 Mod 2' but no description as to what it does. Is it another name for the ‘ADC MK 3 torpedo decoy’ also mentioned in the book? :hmm:

So its a Decoy fired from the 3in signal ejectors? :hmm:

Is it a bubble generator or a noisemaker or what?
