14. The system of claim 13 in which said decoy includes a pattern of dipole crosses thereon tuned to approximate the radar signature of the actual target.
15. The system of claim 14 in which the actual target is a vehicle including a turret portion; the decoy having a turret portion including a pattern of dipole crosses formed on the top surface thereof.
16. The system of claim 15 in which dipole crosses are of random orientation.
17. The system of claim 13 in which said decoy includes a plurality of radar reflectors positioned thereon.
18. The system of claim 17 in which said actual target is a vehicle having a body portion and a turret portion on said body portion; said decoy also including a body portion and a turret portion on said body portion, said radar reflectors spaced around the perimeter of said turret portion.
19. The system of claim 18 in which said radar reflectors are triangular sheets of aluminum foil positioned with one leg of each sheet attached to the turret portion and the other leg of each sheet attached to the body portion, the hypotenuse of each triangular sheet extending between the turret portion and the body portion of the decoy.
20. The system of claim 1 in which said means for emulating includes a medium borne by decoy for reflecting laser energy directed at the decoy.
21. The system of claim 20 in which the actual target is a vehicle having a turret portion with vertically extending walls; the decoy structure also including a turret portion with vertically extending walls, said walls having a coating of material which reflects laser energy.
22. The system of claim 21 in which said coating is titanium dioxide paint.
23. A false target deployment system comprising: a munition including a collapsed decoy packaged therein; means for ejecting said munition from an actual target, means for deploying said decoy out of said munition; and means, integral with the decoy, for emulating the shape, infrared signature, and radar signature characteristics of the actual target.
24. The system of claim 23 in which said means for ejecting said munition includes an ejection charge disposed within said munition.
25. The system of claim 24 in which said means for deploying said decoy includes a pusher plate responsive to said ejection charge.
