Abstract
A decoy for misdirecting heat-seeking and radar-echo-seeking missiles comprised of as main components a radar reflector and an engine and capable of simulating an aircraft in the infra-red wavelength of 1.5 to 2.5 mμ; 3-5 mμ; and 8-14 mμ and simultaneously in the radar band. The decoy is spectrally adapted in the infra-red range and is contoured to exhibit a large reflective surface with a doppler effect in the radar band. The parts are constructed so that the desired configuration and aerodynamic stability is achieved only when the decoy is prepared for operation. A plume covering an appropriately large area is produced and the content of the exhaust includes carbon dioxide and/or metallic powder to a high IR radiation of the plume.
