Abstract
The invention proposes to provide distraction spoofing even on modern infrared, radar and dual-mode guided missiles () by production of a decoy chain (). The chain () is formed by a plurality of apparent targets which are switched successively, for example by firing of individual chaff submunitions (-). The deployment takes place before or during the search phase of the missile and can in this case, for example, be carried out using the reverse walk-off principle or at the same time simultaneously or successively and in the form of a pattern. This ensures that the decoys (-) act initially in the greatest selected range zone away from the target (). The spoofing chain () created in this way results in the missile () having to carry out a series of time-consuming analysis processes on its way to the target ().
