IrvinGQ has developed and introduced the Naval Decoy System to counter potential threats to commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
Ongoing conflicts involving Houthi rebels have significantly impacted global shipping routes, with disruptions prompting major shipping companies to suspend operations in the Red Sea.
IrvinGQ states that the company recognises the evolving maritime landscape and underscores the adaptability of its Naval Decoy System to mitigate risks and ensure the safe passage of vessels.
Naval Decoy Systems are a defence solution that aims to contribute to maintaining operational continuity in the face of increasing risks.
The Floating Decoy System is used as a layer in a ship's RF soft-kill defence against anti-ship missile attacks. It has the capability to generate a ship-like Radar Cross Section on the sea surface, drawing locked-on missiles away from the ship.
The inflatable passive RF corner reflector-based decoys offer consistent radar reflector performance and resistance to modern ECCM missile seekers.
Designed to be immune to chaff discriminators in modern anti-ship missile RF seekers, these corner reflectors render traditional chaff obsolete.
The company states that this system complements other countermeasures, hard-kill systems, and soft-kill devices, offering a non-kinetic countermeasure with no risk of misinterpretation as a missile launch, and its standalone launch capability ensures protection even in scenarios of total power loss.
