Abstract

Verfahren zum Bereitstellen eines Scheinziels zum Schutz von Land-, Luft- oder Wasserfahrzeugen oder dergleichen vor Flugkörpern, die einen im Infrarot (IR)- oder Radar (RF)-Bereich oder einen in beiden Wellenlängenbereichen gleichzeitig oder seriell operierenden Zielsuchkopf aufweisen, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß
eine im IR-Bereich Strahlung aussendende (IR-Wirkmasse) und eine RF-Strahlung rückstreuende Masse (RF-Wirkmasse) simultan in der richtigen Position als Scheinziel simultan zur Wirksamkeit gebracht werden.

Figure 00000001
A method of providing a dummy target for protecting land, air or water vehicles or the like from missiles which have a target seeker operating in the infrared (IR) or radar (RF) range or a target seeker operating simultaneously or serially in both wavelength ranges, characterized in that that
a mass emitting radiation in the IR range (IR active mass) and an RF radiation backscattering mass (RF active mass) are simultaneously brought into effect in the correct position as a false target.
