RUNWAY CAMOUFLAGE APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC F41H3/00 

FIELD: jamming of communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to tools for concealing concrete runways in the optical and radio locating ranges of electromagnetic waves under conditions of aerospace and ground reconnaissance conducted by the enemy. The camouflage apparatus is equipped with foam generators and additionally comprises installation mechanisms (3) consisting of a frame with traction and head jet engines rigidly fixed thereto. The nozzle on the head engine is installed at an angle of 15° to the horizon, and a conical splitter of the stabilising apparatus is fixed, made of a metal alloy, rectangular with ailerons, fixed at one side to the coating (10) of a metallised polymer film and at the other to the frame by means of flexible connections. The chassis is moved in a horizontal plane in guides wherein lateral cables installed across the rough strip are passed through said guides. The coatings (10) are laid in trenches with spring-loaded covers with control mechanisms for control thereof. The foam generators are installed in wells and covered with metal hatches with through holes.

EFFECT: concealing of the real runway and the simulated false runway simultaneously with reproduction of the level of back-reflection of electromagnetic waves of the optical and radio locating ranges from the simulated runway, corresponding with the level of reflection from the concrete surface, is ensured.
