Instructions

1. The Inflatable Target/Decoy may weigh over more than 200-600lbs. (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 (6)18" x 12” ground stakes at 85% 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 blower to the air tube using strap 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: tanks will have thermal blankets in the engine compartment and both tracks. Other vehicles will have thermal blankets in the engine compartment and generators.
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.

The SA-21 Gravestone: History and Evolution of a Revolutionary Radar Defense System

The SA-21 Gravestone is a Russian mobile radar system designed for detecting, tracking, and engaging targets with air defense missiles. The development of the system began in the 1980s to counter the emerging threat of stealth aircraft and cruise missiles. The Gravestone system entered service with the Russian military in the late 1990s and has since undergone several upgrades, including the integration of new radar technology, advanced data processing systems, and improved missiles. The SA-21 is considered one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world and has been exported to several countries, including China and India. It has been deployed in several conflicts, including the Syrian Civil War, where it has been used to engage enemy aircraft and missiles with a high degree of success.

Advantages of the SA-21 Gravestone Radar Defense 

• Multiple Target Engagement: The SA-21 Gravestone radar can engage and track multiple targets concurrently, providing a potent defense against saturation attacks and complex aerial threats.

• Resistance to Jamming: The radar is designed to be resilient against electronic jamming and countermeasures, ensuring its continued operation in contested electronic warfare environments.

• Improved ECCM (Electronic Counter-Countermeasures: The system incorporates electronic counter-countermeasures to mitigate the effects of enemy attempts to disrupt or confuse the radar's operation.
