Avanti Defence Systems
Shield of Illusion — multispectral tactical decoy systems
Next-generation inflatable decoys engineered to defeat the full sensor set of modern intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance: high-resolution electro-optics, forward-looking infrared and synthetic aperture radar. Each system replicates a real asset at 1:1 scale, emits a credible thermal signature and returns a heavy-steel radar cross-section — drawing precision munitions away from the force it protects. Designed and assembled in the GCC.
1:1
Scale replication
95% visual resemblance against high-resolution optics.
15–20 min
Setup per asset
Two soldiers, 1.5hp continuous-air blower, from crate.
175 lb
Packed weight
1.25 × 1.75 × 2.0 m storage footprint per system.
35 mph
Wind rating
Open-weave 3-ply construction, −30°C to +150°F tolerance.
