2. After surpassing the atmosphere, the missile released three spacecrafts containing radio interference equipment which picked up enemy radar network signals and sent back dummy signals, successfully triggering enemy forces to launch an interceptor.

3.The spacecrafts' direction, speed and formation would be decided before the launch and would be based on the information obtained about the enemy's radar station.

5. After release from the missile, the distance between the three spacecrafts would increase over time and alter the accuracy of the dummy signals.
