Military Decoy

For centuries armies all over the world have effectively used camouflage to protect solders, equipment and fortifications from their enemies.

Besides traditional methods of camouflage, such as painting, camouflage netting and other disguises, armies also make extensive use of decoys as an alternative means of camouflage.


Modern war is waged with increasingly sophisticated high technology weapons and equipment. With the advancement of spying and detecting technology and precision guided weapons, all targets in the battlefield have become more and more vulnerable even with the use of camouflage techniques.


Unlike traditional camouflage, the purpose of decoys is not to conceal forces and equipment, but to divert the enemy from the actual target, which is a proactive defensive strategy in modern war.

Military decoys, simulated or dummy targets, can effectively deceive the enemy, reduce damage to real equipment and fortifications, enhance survivability and gain the initiative in battle.

In World War II, Allied forces set up more than 500 false cities, bases, airfields and shipyards in the United Kingdom consisting of dummy structures that resembled actual buildings and military equipment. These remarkable dummies, built in remote, uninhabited areas, significantly diminished the damage to actual cities and fortifications by causing the Axis forces to waste their time and resources.
