Abstract
An expendable infra-red radiating means having a rupturable containerhousing a plurality of decoy plates () and an ignition means () for igniting the decoy plates (). Each of the decoy plates () comprises a composition of a metal and an oxidant capable of an exothermic combustion reaction upon ignition which produces negligible quantities of radiation in the visible or ultra-violet regions and which results, after the combustion reaction is completed, in the decoy plates () containing hot metal emitting infra-red radiation.
