Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9727446A1] A thermally conductive surface (22) of an aerial target (1) is heated using a liquid petroleum gas burner (18) to a sufficient temperature to provide a thermal signature for acquisition by an infrared seeking air defence weapon system. The liquid petroleum gas burner (18) generates a flame which is directed against the thermally conductive surface (22) which then radiates an infrared signature. In the preferred embodiment, the liquid petroleum gas burner (18) is housed within a thermal unit (3) which forms the nose-cone of the aerial target (1).
