METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROTECTION OF FLIGHT VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: protection of flight vehicles. SUBSTANCE: the container for stowage and transportation of false targets is attached to the pylons of the flight vehicle. In the process of flight the covers of the container throat are opened, and an abrupt drop of the flight vehicle speed is accomplished. Under the action of inertia forces all or part of the false targets are ejected. After ejection the effective reflecting surface of the false targets is increased up to the parameters of the piloted flight vehicle, and the last one among the great number of the false targets is hidden. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and economy at a simplified design of the device for protection. 2 cl, 1 dwg
