Claims12
A decoy system comprising:
- a decoy body;
- a propulsion system coupled to the decoy body;
- a steering system coupled to the decoy body;
- a positioning receiver coupled to the decoy body and configured to provide a current location of the decoy body;
- a tangible medium associated with the decoy body and housing a plurality of instructions;
- and
- a processor associated with the decoy body and communicatively coupled to the propulsion system, the steering system and the positioning receiver and configured to read the instructions from the tangible medium and execute the instructions to navigate the decoy body by:
- reading the current location from the positioning receiver;
- reading a next location of the decoy body from the instructions, wherein the next location is one of a plurality of locations defining a path for the decoy body;
- controlling the propulsion system and the steering system to move the decoy body from the current location to the next location;
- when the current location of the decoy body coincides with the next location, reading a new next location of the decoy body from the instructions and continuing with the step of controlling the propulsion system and the steering system to move the decoy body from the current location to the new next location.
