摘要:
A decoy material package and a dispenser. The package is intended for use in the dispenser. The package includes an elongated container including a strip, a plurality of depressions, which are to be filled with decoy material, and a cover, which is sealed to the container when the depressions have been filled with decoy material and which covers the container, whereby the decoy material is hermetically stored in the depressions of the package. A gripping portion cooperates with a feeder including a gripper in the decoy material dispenser.

A radio wave reflector has a function of reflecting radio waves in every direction in the plane including the incoming direction of the radio waves and can be fitted to various miscellaneous structures. The radio wave reflector includes a radio wave reflection material which is a conductor, and a base material including the radio wave reflection material in a non-contact state, and the conductor which is the radio wave reflection material is formed of a flaky or granular metal. The radio wave reflector includes the radio wave reflection material which is a dielectric, and the base material including the radio wave reflection material, and the dielectric which is the radio wave reflection material is formed of a flaky or granular ceramic.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for a miniature omni-directional corner reflector (MOCR) and an array thereof. In one aspect, the invention comprises the application of MOCRs in an amorphous configuration to produce a reflective coating. The geometry, matter, and size dictate the principle behavior of the MOCR to reflect incident electromagnetic radiation back toward the source of illumination. The omni-directionality topology, miniature size, and powder form of individual MOCRs eliminates the need for a particular orientation of individual MOCRs when applied as a reflective coating or layer to a desired object or structure.
摘要:
A method for creating coherent masses of burning matter for countermeasures purposes such as for protecting an aircraft and other vehicles from infrared “heat seeking” hostile missiles and also from high power Laser beams and Laser radar. One or more spurious sources of radiation are created controllably in the general vicinity of the aircraft being protected; in missile countermeasures, each of these spurious sources is capable of emitting infrared energy comparable in wave length and at a higher intensity than that emitted by the target aircraft itself such that the hostile missile will be decoyed away from its intended target by the spurious radiation sources. In this method, the spurious source of radiation is created by igniting a small amount of aircraft fuel that is gelled and controllably ejected from the aircraft. Protection against Laser weapons and radar is provided by interposing the burning mass of matter in the Laser beam so that combusion products in the burning mass serve to degrade beam power. Apparatus for practicing the method is disclosed comprising means for withdrawing a small quantity of fuel from the aircraft fuel tank, means for adding a gelling agent to the quantity of fuel, and means for simultaneously igniting and ejecting the quantity of gelled fuel such that a persistent source of radiant energy that can be used for decoy purposes and attenuating Laser beams is produced.
摘要:
An aerial decoy comprising a fuselage having forward and aft ends. Disposed within the fuselage are a plurality of decoy discs. Rotatably connected to the forward end of the fuselage is a ram air turbine which is cooperatively engaged to the decoy discs such that the rotation of the ram air turbine facilitates the dispensation of the decoy discs from the aft end of the fuselage.
摘要:
Method for air dispersion of filamentary type organic material from an initial compressed form comprising a component of a propellant and/or air-activated shell-like structure.An invention comprised of a plurality of compressed filamentary organic materials, a vehicle for storing and dispersing said materials and a method for effecting air dispersion of such materials.
摘要:
A method of screening infra-red radiation is disclosed which comprises fong between the source of said radiation and the point of reception or detection an aerosol of finely-divided, thin flat particles of aluminum which is highly reflective and opaque to said radiation, the dimensions of said particles being of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of said radiation.
摘要:
A method of producing chaff, which method comprises sputtering a coating of a metal on to a plurality of carrier filaments and cutting the coated filaments into small pieces, the metal and the filaments being so chosen that the modulus of elasticity of the metal is not greater than the modulus of elasticity of the filaments.
摘要:
A system for the delayed dispersal of dipole conductors or radar reflecting chaff into the upper atmosphere. Dispersion is effected by potting the chaff material in a volatile binder material that will evaporate when subjected to the thermal shock conditions occurring during the re-entry regime of a rocket vehicle.
摘要:
Radar and other electronic devices which rely for information upon reflection of a primary wave-form signal are jammed by interposing in the path of the primary signal chaff of compacted vermiform, or expanded, graphite. The primary signal may be electromagnetic, as in the case of radar, or it may be sonic, as in the case of sonar.
