Airborne fiber optic decoy architecture

摘要: One or more decoys (22) are towed by an aircraft (18) to confuse hostile radar. The tow lines (20) the include fiber optic components which optically transmit both radio frequency signals for retransmission radar (24), and direct current power. absorb strain forces imposed towing (22). Multiple deployed at varying distances from increase overall range of frequencies covered system, simulate a plurality false targets, accomplish angle gate deception. deception may be accomplished transmitting in sequence can enhanced dynamically power levels decoy antennas. separate optical fibers separately joined together simultaneous deployment. preferred configuration is single with coaxial inner outer cores. preferably has antenna form simulated biconical dipole. In one embodiment, halves dipole set fins. another forward half truncated cone.
