Claim One:
1. A decoy deploying ICBM warhead comprising in combination: (a) a plurality of real warheads; (b) at least one of said plurality of real warheads including at least one stack of a plurality of dummy warhead shells of a substantially thin hollow conical shell construction attached to at least one extremity of said at least one of said plurality of real warheads in a substantially coaxial relationship, said dummy warhead shells having external configuration substantially matched to said real warhead and providing a radar image substantially resembling the radar image of said real warhead; (c) means for securing said plurality of dummy warhead shells and said real warhead together into a package; (d) means for separating said plurality of dummy warhead shells and said real warhead from each other, said means included in said package separating said plurality of dummy warhead shells and said real warhead from each other when said means for securing is cut loose; (e) means for cutting loose said means for securing said plurality of dummy warhead shells and said real warhead together; and (f) means for triggering said means for cutting loose said means for securing said plurality of dummy warhead shells and said real warhead together; whereby, said decoy deploying ICBM warhead releases a plurality of real warheads and a plurality of dummy warhead shells after said decoy deploying ICBM warhead is launched into space, making it very difficult for radar to distinguish real warheads from said dummy warhead shells.
