Advantages of the HQ-7 Missile Launcher Inflatable Decoy 

• Realistic Appearance: Inflatable tank decoys are designed to closely resemble real tanks in terms of shape, size, and visual features, fooling adversaries into believing they are facing a genuine armored threat.
• Diversionary Tactics: By deploying inflatable tank decoys, military forces can draw enemy attention away from actual tank formations, diverting their resources and creating confusion on the battlefield.
• Force Protection: Inflatable decoys provide a means of protecting real tanks by attracting enemy fire and diverting attention away from them, reducing the risk to personnel and equipment.
• Operational Flexibility: Inflatable tank decoys allow for the creation of the illusion of a larger tank force, enhancing the perception of strength and potentially deterring aggression.
• Mobility and Flexibility: Inflatable decoys are lightweight and portable, enabling easy transportation and rapid deployment to different locations as needed.

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.
