Our proprietary dedicated shape radiolocation reflectors are intended for use both in upper and lower atmosphere.
Owing to their displaced center-of-gravity and dedicated shape these reflectors form clouds in which each separate reflector follows a very intricate trajectory, while the reflectors ensure the effective Doppler spectrum of signal scattered and reflected.
The dedicated shape of the reflectors ensures an effective operation across a wide frequency range of incident radar radiation and a weak dependence of the propagation trajectory on atmospheric flow characteristics when the reflectors are being dispersed in low atmosphere.

Certain characteristics of a given reflector assume the following values:
| Maximum length | 18.1 mm | |
| Maximum breadth | 5.8 mm | |
| Maximum thickness | 0.9 mm | |
| Maximum ESR value of one reflector | 0.0015 m2 | |
| Frequency range of the most effective work of the reflector | 8.3...9.1 GHz |
The reflectors are made of various metals, plastics and smart materials enabling to displace the center-of-gravity and sophisticate the trajectory, as the reflector moves, after dispersal.
Due to their low weight and dedicated shape, the reflectors of this type can stay in atmosphere for quite a long time.
