ABSTRACT:
A high temperature superconducting material is incorporated onto a vehicle for the purpose of reflecting electromagnetic waves while superconducting. The vehicle may be chaff, a decoy, an electronic pod, a satellite, or a space vehicle. Heating and/or cooling is used to control the superconductivity state of the material. By selective use of the material and the substrate to which it is attached, the radar as well as the IR signatures can be altered.
