Colonel Remy Hemez, Head of Lessons Learned at the French Army Future Combat Command, sats down with Harry at Combat Engineer and Logistics to discuss the evolving role of military decoys on the modern battlefield, covering everything from the historical use of Quaker Guns during the US Civil War to the growing requirement for multispectral technology capable of replicating thermal, infrared, acoustic, and radar signatures. Colonel Hemez also addressed France’s current decoy inventory shortfalls, the four priority axes guiding French Army acquisition and experimentation efforts, and why NATO nations have considerable ground to make up compared to Ukraine and potential adversaries including Russia, China, and North Korea.
