Abstract
A partially translucent mural decoy containing selective translucent panels representing horizontal and other areas of the simulated target that appear brighter than surrounding areas of the target under certain conditions. When frontlit, these translucent panels present the same relative brightness as the surrounding opaque areas of the target. When backlit, these translucent panels appear brighter than the surrounding opaque areas of the target simulation, and this brighter aspect increases as the sun approaches the horizon. Thus the presentation of horizontal and similar areas of the simulated target when the target is backlit is simulated.
