Abstract

A flare mass for dummy target production has an incendiary composition component and an inert component, the weight ratio of the incendiary mass component and the inert component being adjusted such that the maximum of the spectral radiant flux of the flare mass in adaptation to the spectral radiant flux distribution of the target signature to be simulated is displaced toward longer wavelengths compared with the spectral radiant flux distribution of the incendiary mass component alone.
