Abstract

The invention proposes the launching or re-entry pods, individually or in oups, from a launching platform, so directed as to precede the entering body throughout the atmospheric trajectory, and containing therein chaff material or bundles to be dispensed therefrom at programmed intervals whereby the chaff material is scattered over a larger area ahead of the entering body so that receiving radar will track the chaff material rather than the body, thus confusing during the atmospheric re-entry of the body.
