This small device would imitate the sounds of a person trying
to be quiet. It would be surrounded by foam so it could be
thrown. It could also make a sound above human hearing
range or send a radio signal for integration into the
augmented reality devices already made. (it would show up in
friendly
troops glasses as a decoy)
It would also be
capable of shining very dim light on nearby walls at night to
make it look like a person is there.

Prior Art [8th of 7, Oct 06 2010]

This could be a pretty good idea. I wonder if you could have a hand grenade type affair from which one of these blows up inflated by a gas cartridge. Then for sound have a series of charges that pop every few minutes to simulate gunfire. |
|
| |
I wouldn't think you'd need to spend much effort making it look like a soldier, just have a human size mass in a faux ghillie suit with the occassional pop of a charge and puff of smoke to divert the enemy's attention. |
|
| |
More for a diversion than to scare anybody, this might come in handy I'd think, if for no other reason than to draw the enemy's fire to help locate them. |

Not an entirely new idea ... <link> |

[8th] the paradummy is prior art for the annotation
above yours. My idea has nothing to do with a full
size dummy soldier. |
|
| |
The paradummies were nothing like full-size.
In many cases they weren't even that realistic, certainly nothing as complicated as portrayed in "The Longest Day" movie. |
|
| |
I think I may be working alongside a fair number of these. |
