Abstract: A projectile includes a component that is highly reflective and configured to reveal the projectile's trajectory when the projectile is fired from a gun and electromagnetic radiation is directed toward the projectile. With the reflective component, one can more easily limit the visibility of the projectile to areas from where the projectile was fired because the reflective component is passive, not active. As the projectile moves down range, the areas behind the projectile are typically where a shooter and/or spotter for the shooter are located, not where an enemy combatant is located. Thus, the trajectory of the projectile is revealed to the people who can use the information to adjust their fire, and remains hidden from the people who could use the information to locate the shooter.

Abstract translation: 射弹包括高度反射的组件，并配置为当炮弹从炮弹射出时发射弹体的轨迹，电磁辐射指向射弹。 使用反射组件，可以更容易地将射弹的可见性限制在射弹射出的地方，因为反射部件是被动的，不活跃的。 随着射弹向下移动，射弹背后的区域通常位于射手的射手和/或射手位置，而不是敌方战斗人员所在的地方。 因此，射弹的轨迹向使用这些信息调整火灾的人员显露出来，并且仍然隐藏在可以使用这些信息的人找到射手的位置。
