Abstract
Muzzle flash simulators that combine visual, audio, and thermal signals synchronized to the firing of a rifleman's weapon to obscure his position by producing the illusion that the shot came from a location other than the rifleman's actual location. The system may be deployed by placement with a removable ground penetrating spike, by use upon a tripod mounting system, by a hanger or by launching upon a projectile. The simulator is remotely operated. The simulator can be deployed as a single unit or as a set of units operating in coordination.

A method of using a muzzle flash simulator comprising placing the muzzle flash simulator body into the ground and remotely sending a signal to the muzzle flash simulator to simulate a muzzle flash.
A method of making a muzzle flash simulator comprising placing a lamp, an antenna, and a radio frequency receiver in a hardened removeable body, the hardened removeable body being capable of insertion directly into the ground or removed to allow a pre folded tripod to expand and set the muzzle flash simulator onto the ground, and remotely signaling the lamp to simulate a muzzle flash.
