Abstract
The decoy system, notably for terrestrial mines or improvised explosive devices, includes: a means of producing heat energy including an air or water boiler, a means of emitting radiation in the infrared spectrum including a chamber that is fed with fluid by the production means, the chamber being provided with internal fins able to promote a build-up of heat energy inside said chamber, at least one detection means for determining the temperature of the chamber or the temperature of the fluid between the production means and the emission means, and a control unit able to control the operation of the heat energy production means at least according to the determined temperature.
