Abstract

A method for generating a liquid mist to produce phantom targets or camouflage. A liquid is launched by a water cannon (1) at high velocity and initially the liquid is held together in a liquid packet (2) in order to decompose after a certain distance, under the effect of the air resistance, and atomize into small liquid drops to form a liquid mist (3).
