Abstract
A chaff device for exoatmospheric deployment as a countermeasure to radar detection of exoatmospheric objects utilizes a plurality of elongated foil members and a plurality of elongated fiber members, each for providing a dipole. The foil dipole members are disposed in an end-to-end overlapping relationship and wrapped in a coil configuration. The fiber dipole members in a group are disposed adjacent one of the foil dipole members so as to be sandwiched between adjacent layers of coil wrapped foil dipole members.
