In general, the counter-measure is an attack on the missiles recticle-scan seekers to degrade the image processing homing system.

The Canadians have an interesting stduy from 2007, "Preliminary study of defensive aids suite technology for the armour combat vehicle programme."

And, this maybe true as the US Army has over the past two decades failed to fund "Fire and Forget" ATGMs;
The javelin being a prime example of a fire and forget ATGM, after all, and somewhat funded by the US Army...
