COMBINED FALSE TARGET Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F41H3/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to protection of armaments and military equipment against airspace surveillance in visible, IR and radar ranges. Combined false target is composed of a full-scale inflatable mockup of the object including radio reflecting coating to mask colouring and heat radiation source made up of electric heaters built in false target material with separate heating control, heat controller and its control unit, and differs from known designs in that said heaters are selected in quantity equal to K, that is, the number of characteristic sections defining the target heat image while shape and sizes are selected to equal those of the object. Note here that surface area of combined false target is $$s={\displaystyle \sum _{k=1}^K{S}_k}$$ where S_k is the area of k-th electric heater, $$k=\overline{\mathrm{1,}K}$$ .

EFFECT: higher degree of simulation.
