Abstract

An elementary emissive decoy for protecting, say, a ship from an infra-red guided missile has a water-tight case provided with floats and in which there is a liquid aerosol, a high calorific pyrotechnic composition core and an ignition device for the core. A plurality of decoys are launched from the ship one after another to create an artificial moving target.
