ACTIVE PROTECTION SYSTEM

The invention proposes the creation of a decoy target (1, 10) by means of the use of a retro-reflector or a retro-directive antenna (2, 11, 12), preferably in the form of a van-Atta array, or by means of a backscatter system, having means which are able to send a radar signal (RF) actively and accur...

More Information
Summary:The invention proposes the creation of a decoy target (1, 10) by means of the use of a retro-reflector or a retro-directive antenna (2, 11, 12), preferably in the form of a van-Atta array, or by means of a backscatter system, having means which are able to send a radar signal (RF) actively and accurately back in the direction of incidence and thus to the missile (5). The use of a retro-reflector (2, 11, 12) as an active decoy target has the advantage that, as an active retro-reflector (2, 11, 12), this generates a large radar backscatter frequency cross section (RCS), which permits the production of a large RCS for any desired polarization of the missile (5).
