Abstract: Improved radar reflector apparatus which includes a collapsible and inflatable radar wave permeable envelope which when inflated assumes the shape of an ellipsoid. The ellipsoid envelope surround a radar reflective array having a number of radar wave reflectors which, when the envelope is inflated, are arranged to form a plurality of corner reflectors. The reflectors are in the shape of right multilaterals having two sides perpendicular to one another and the other sides forming obtuse angles where the apexes of these angles may provide points of attachment to the inner surface of the inflatable envelope.

Abstract: Improved radar reflector apparatus of the type comprising a collapsible and inflatable envelope surrounding a collapsible reflector array made of reflectors which, when the envelope is inflated, form a plurality of corner reflectors. The improvement resides primarily in the fact that each of the reflectors is mounted or suspended in the envelope by a string mounting network independently of the others.
