Abstract

See full text

A process of producing an infrared radiation-generating decoy for protecting against heat-seeking missiles and other heat-seeking devices comprises the step of decomposing a metal carboxy compound in the substantial absence of gaseous oxygen, to produce a pyrophoric material as a decomposition product of the metal carboxy compound, which pyrophoric material is arranged to combust spontaneously upon contact with air when the decoy is used. The metal carboxy compound may be iron oxalate, and the pyrophoric material may be ferrous oxide. The pyrophoric material may be coated onto a substrate, and a plurality of coated substrate pieces may be used in a decoy.
