The Luneburg lens is a spherical radio wave reflector embedded in a drone's hull that creates a deceptive radar signature, making a small drone appear as a massive threat on radar screens; this forces air defense systems to waste expensive missiles on false targets, revealing their coordinates and depleting their munitions, which allows real strike drones to attack the actual target while defenses are weakened.

Bluff in the sky πAdded:
The perfect poker bluff in the sky. A cheap drone forces air defenses to waste million-dollar missiles. The secret of the deception lies in the Luneburg lens.
This sphere inside the hull acts as a powerful radio wave reflector. The radar scans the sector and sees a massive threat instead of a tiny drone. The defense is forced to react and reveals its coordinates. Expensive munitions strike false targets. When the systems are depleted, the real strike drones attack the target. [music] Only electronic warfare EW provides a defense. It jams the signal and deflects [music] the decoy off course, but even a dummy can hit a civilian or critical facility. How do you distinguish a decoy from a real attack?
