Ship decoys work as follows: when needed, a vessel launches a floating decoy that mimics a strong radar signal or heat source. The decoy is designed to deceive enemy missiles, which may mistake it for a real ship and strike it instead.
One example is the Naval Decoy IDS300, which simulates targets such as a British Type 45-class destroyer or an American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.
The decoy is launched from one of four platforms installed on the ship, deploys within seconds, and can remain afloat for about three hours.
