  • Publication number: 20100254154
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward a central laser source based passive countermeasure system for use on an emission producing asset comprising at least one centrally located source disposed on the emission producing asset. The centrally located source is configured to produce optical energy in at least one band of infrared radiation. At least one first fiber optic wire is coupled to the centrally located source to transmit the optical energy. At least one modulator is coupled to the centrally located source via the first fiber optic wire and is configured to modulate a flow of the optical energy. At least one output lens assembly is coupled to the modulator via a second fiber optic wire and is configured to receive the optical energy and emit the optical energy.

  • Patent number: 7402818
    Abstract: A method for generating visible light and a deceptive signature pattern for an emissions producing asset is disclosed. The method comprises illuminating at least one lighting assembly of the asset in a pattern. The pattern produces visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset. The method also comprises modulating a radiant intensity of the signature of the at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle and operating a controller to regulate the pattern.
