Aircraft Decoy Target

Aircraft Decoy Targets are pyrotechnic devices used to divert or confuse enemy aircraft during military operations. They are typically designed to mimic the radar signature or heat signature of an actual aircraft, drawing enemy fire away from the real aircraft and increasing its chances of survival.

In the supply class Pyrotechnics, Aircraft Decoy Targets are categorized as a type of ammunition and explosive. They are used as a defensive measure to protect aircraft from enemy attacks, particularly from radar-guided or heat-seeking missiles.

These decoy targets are usually small, lightweight devices that can be easily deployed from an aircraft. They are designed to emit specific signals or signatures that can confuse enemy radar systems or heat-seeking missiles, making it difficult for them to accurately track and engage the real aircraft.

Aircraft Decoy Targets are an important component of military operations, providing an additional layer of protection for aircraft and increasing their survivability in hostile environments.
