Instructions 

1. The Inflatable Target/Decoy may weigh over more than 500lbs. (depending on the model), so caution should be exercised when moving/inflating/loading/unloading and handling the equipment. Always use heavy-duty dolly with steel fenders such as Monster Mover to move your Target/Decoy and staff should always wear back support belt.
2. Be sure the area that you will be setting up your Target/Decoy is free of all debris including any rocks or sharp objects. Grass or hard ground is fine for set up if there are no rocks, debris, or sharp objects.
3. You may opt to lay out a ground tarp to protect the Target/Decoy, but not necessary.
4. The inflated Target/Decoy requires clearance from adjacent obstacles is a minimum 5’ (1.5m) around and above the perimeter of the Target/Decoy with an additional 15’ (4.5m) clearance from utility lines.
5. Unroll the Target/Decoy and lay flat in the desired direction/orientation.
6. Tie off any unused blower tubes and be sure that all zippers/flaps are closed.
7. The Target/Decoy is to be anchored by a minimum (12)18" x 1” diameter ground stakes at 90% depth. Anchoring should be applied at a 90 degrees angle (i.e., perpendicular)
8. If anchoring on a hard surface such as asphalt or cement, a minimum of 80lb sand or water bags should be required per anchor location. Aircrafts can be anchored to tie-down rings.
9. Connect inflation blowers to the air tubes using straps attached and close off the additional air tubes by twisting the tube several times and fold it over and secure snugly with attached strap.
10. Now you can install your heat signature radiant blankets (if it wasn’t installed from the factory). Locate the velcro flaps to attach the thermal blanket(s). (Note: Aircraft may have thermal heat blankets around engine(s) or optional forrced air radiant heaters)
11. Plug your inflation blower(s) into the closest properly grounded (GFCI) 110v or 220v (depending on your power source/Country) outlet or gasoline/diesel generator.

FAQs

Q: How long does it take to inflate the decoy?

A: It typically takes approx. 60-120 minutes to inflate the decoy if it has an inflated base and poles to brace its wings. Add approx. 30 minutes to fully set-up the decoy along with the ODS. 

Q: Does the inflatable decoy require a power source?

A: Yes, the inflatable decoy must be inflated with 110v or 230v inflation blowers. (Note: Askl about new developements using sealed-air technology that don't require constant flow of electricity)

Q: Does the inflatable decoy require a constant power source?

A: It depends - i2k has two versions. The most popular is the "constant-air" inflatable decoy that must stay inflated by the 110v or 230v inflation blowers at all times. The other version is the "sealed-air" model which must be inflated with electricity or a generator and after fully inflated, a constant power source is not required. 

Q: How long does it stay inflated? 

A: The decoy can stay inflated for several days, weeks or even months depending on weather conditions and usage. The sealed-air version will/may require a top-off of air every week or so to stay fully inflated.

Q: What is the ODS? 

A: The ODS (Onboard Deployment System) is an optional self-contained deployment system that allows an easy use and transportation of the inflatable aircraft decoy. The steel/aluminum landing gear/payload dolly will cradle the inflatable fuselage and support the wings of the aircraft making it look realistic from the horizon while allowing mobilization as opposed to being static on the ground. The ODS contains a storage cavity underneath the aircraft which is able to hold a generator, blowers, Radiant Heater(s), a spare tire and a repair kit. The inflatable aircraft sitting on the ODS can be towed by a lightweight vehicle or even a golf cart. (Note: autonomous options are also available upon request)

Q: What materials are used to make the decoy and how durable is it?

A: The decoy is made of durable, high-tensile strength, lightweight PVC-coated nylon with UV inhibitors, and it is designed to withstand rough handling and extreme weather conditions.

Q: Can the decoy be customized to match specific variations?

A: Yes, the decoy can be customized to match specific colors, textures, tail numbers and flags, as well as extended fuel tanks and 3D-printed and/or foam missiles. Camouflage netting is also an option that can be added for customization purposes.

Q: How much does the decoy weigh and how easy is it to transport?

A: The weight of the deflated decoy varies depending on the size and configuration, but it weighs approx. 400lbs-650lbs (181/kg-294/kg) depending on the aircraft model.

Q: Can the decoy be reused or is it a one-time use item?

A: The decoy is designed for long-term use and can be used multiple times for 5+ years depending on the care and maintenance given to the device.

Q: Is the decoy suitable for use in all weather conditions?

A: The decoy is suitable for use in most weather conditions, but extreme weather conditions such as snow may affect its performance.

Q: How do you move or transport the inflatable decoy?

A: A standard decoy is packed in a heavy-duty storage bag that can be unloaded from a standard pick-up truck or small trailer by 2 crew members. If the decoy is packed in the optional collapsible container, it will require more crew members to offload. If using the optional ODS, a forklift or a lowboy trailer with ramps and 4-6 crew members or a forklift/crane may be required. 

Q: Can the decoy be packed up wet?

A: The decoy can be packed wet; however, for long-term storage, it is necessary for the decoy to be completely dry. Inflatable decoys may be prone to mold, mildew, and may rot if not properly kept and protected from moisture.

Q: Can the decoy be used for non-military purposes?

A: While the decoy is primarily designed and used for military purposes, it can also be used for other motives such as training exercises or movie productions. (1/2 scale models also available upon request for advertising purposes)

Q: What is the cost of the decoy and where can it be purchased?

A: The cost of the decoy varies depending on the size and configuration and it can be purchased directly from i2k or from authorized international traders.
