Decoy

This invention describes a method to protect a target from an incoming missile by creating a fake image of the target in the air. It uses a system of barrels, each packed with multiple projectiles containing material that forms an image. When a missile is detected, the system calculates where to project a decoy image and then fires many projectiles at once to create a visual illusion, aiming to divert the missile away from the actual target. The method also allows for refreshing the image and choosing different decoy images based on the target.
