1. Radar confusion reflectors, which consist of thin, narrow metallic strips of various lengths and frequency responses, used to create false echoes for confusion purposes. 2. Confetti-like metal foil ribbons which can be ejected from spacecraft (or terrestrial vehicles) to reflect enemy radar signals, thereby creating false targets or screening actual targets from the “view” of radar.
