Abstract

The method offers a phantom target for protecting land, air or water craft or the like against missiles that have a target seeking head operating in the infrared (IR) or radar (RF) range or simultaneously or serially in both wavelength ranges. A mass emitting radiation in the IR range (IR active mass) and a mass back-scattering RF radiation (RF active mass) are simultaneously brought into action in the correct position as phantom target.
