Why is ARMY Releasing Thousands of YELLOW DUCKS Into the Ocean — The Real Reason! #shorts
247,148Army all over the world (NAVY), uses "Yellow Duck" decoy system, that refers to a type of radar deception mechanism deployed to mislead adversary sensor systems. Technically, it consists of a compact, inflatable or low-profile duck structure equipped with radar reflectors or active emitters that simulate the radar cross-section (RCS) of a much larger naval vessel. When deployed, typically via air-drop or surface launch, the decoy floats on the water and emits or reflects signals to mimic the radar signature of high-value assets such as destroyers or aircraft carriers. This system functions as a form of electronic and physical countermeasure, creating false targets to saturate or confuse enemy targeting systems. By generating multiple synthetic radar returns, it aims to divert hostile attention and weapon systems away from actual fleet units, thereby enhancing survivability and operational deception. Its deployment is often integrated into broader electronic warfare strategies, serving both as a tactical distraction and a strategic element in radar spoofing and signature management.
