ABSTRACT:
Chaff for protecting a ballistic missile from detection by radar during re-entry into the atmosphere is shown to be made up of a plurality of dart like elements, each fabricated from pyrolytically formed graphite and shaped so as to follow a ballistic path through the atmosphere upon release from said missile and to appear as a resonant dipole to interrogating signals from a radar.
