A camouflage device includes at least one releasable active material disposed in at least one container to interrupt a line of sight, whereby the container can be deployed as a preventive measure and the active material can be remotely activated, if necessary. The container(s) can be brought to the desired location to be off-loaded by a transport vehicle, such as a truck.

Camouflage means and camouflage procedures

The method offers a phantom target for protecting land, air or water craft or the like against missiles that have a target seeking head operating in the infrared (IR) or radar (RF) range or simultaneously or serially in both wavelength ranges. A mass emitting radiation in the IR range (IR active mass) and a mass back-scattering RF radiation (RF active mass) are simultaneously brought into action in the correct position as phantom target.

Method for offering a phantom target

In a method for simulating high-angle trajectory weapons fire in a combat exercise field, whereby the effect of hostile fire is realistically simulated for persons situated in a selectable target region and/or for a referee in a central referee location, the combat exercise field is divided into a number of grid squares of such a size that a neighboring grid square can be reached in at most one minute with a combat vehicle proceeding from a readiness location defined by the respective mid-point of the grid square. A mobile high-angle trajectory weapons fire simulator is respectively positioned in a number of, but not in all readiness locations, the simulator including a combat vehicle having a multiple firing unit for simulation ammunition arranged thereon and being in communication with the central referee location such that the position of the respective high-angle trajectory weapons fire simulator can be essentially recognized at any time. The position of the high-angle trajectory weapons fire simulator can be selected proceeding from the central reference location as can a selective firing of simulation ammunition with the multiple firing unit. Given a selectable target region that can be defined from the central referee location and given a defined, selectable high-angle trajectory weapons fire situation, at least one high-angle trajectory weapons fire simulator is brought into a firing position from the readiness location or locations lying most favorably relative to the selected target region. Subsequently, the exercise ammunition is fired proceeding from a command from the central referee location. A high-angle trajectory weapons fire simulator and simulation ammunition therefor are also disclosed.
