ABSTRACT:
Improved thermal contrast detailing for inflatable decoy targets is provided by providing the decoy with gas permeable skin panels for surface areas which would be at a higher temperature relative to other surface areas on the actual target represented by the decoy. Heated, pressurized air is provided to the decoy and escapes through the gas permeable panels making those panels hotter than adjoining gas impermeable panels. The target decoy may also be rigid. Thermal contrast may also be achieved by using chilled, pressurized air. The invention may also be used for providing any thermal radiance area-source.
