Abstract

See full text

A method and a device for providing a dummy target via decoy chaffs for protecting a vehicle and/or an object from radar-guided missiles. After identification of the radar-guided missile and calculation of a decoy chaff pattern, the decoy chaff pattern is presented in the form of polar coordinates in accordance with the firing of shots, a “cut-off” distance for the determination of a defence radius is then found in these polar coordinates. A minimum distance between the disassembly or detonation points within the defence radius is set. The dummy target is then optimized on the basis of the “cut-off” distance and the minimum distance between the disassembly or detonation points. As a result of this calculation, the only decoy chaffs that are deloyed are those that meet the conditions, i.e. that have a minimum distance between the disassembly or detonation points within the defence radius in the optimized dummy target.
