Advanced infrared imaging missiles pose a formidable threat to U.S. Navy ships operating in the littorals. Advanced materials and techniques for accurately placing them will be necessary to counter these threats. This report describes the development of a decoy vehicle compatible with the next generation of naval ships which will have decoy launchers below deck to minimize their radar signature. This vehicle is launched vertically and pitches over to fly horizontally in any direction. It has a large central payload cavity suitable for carrying a variety it decoy and obscurant materials.
