Abstract:
1. An active composition for a decoy radiating spectrally as the active composition burns, the active composition comprising: an additive distributed in the active composition and increases a ratio of an intensity of radiation emitted during combustion of the active composition in a wavelength range from 3.7 to 5.1 μm to an intensity of radiation emitted during combustion of the active composition in a wavelength range from 1.9 to 2.3 μm; a fuel containing carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms; an oxidizer for said fuel, said oxidizer containing oxygen atoms, an amount of said oxidizer being such that said oxidizer is not sufficient for complete oxidation of carbon; and said additive being a catalyst present in a form of particles that catalyzes a redox reaction, said catalyst containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of CeO
