Applications

• Tactical Deception: They can be used in operations where the goal is to mislead, decive or confuse the enemy. By deploying these decoys, the opposing forces may be tricked into targeting them or misjudging the actual location and strength of military assets.
• Manipulate the enemy’s decision-making, either driving them into disadvantageous actions such as falling into traps or wasting resources—or preventing them from making beneficial moves, like delaying or avoiding a potentially effective attack.
• Effective military deception narrows the adversary’s options, forcing them into making lowqualitative decisions. This involves manipulating the perceived costs, benefits, and risks of their choices, increasing ambiguity, and clouding their judgment.
• Shielding of Real assets.
• Locate Enemy position
• Diversion of Enemy’s Surveillance Assets
• Wasting enemy’s ammunition in unwanted combat.
• Training: They allow military personnel to practice and simulate real-world scenarios without using actual military assets. This can help in improving skills and tactics in a controlled, cost-effective manner.
