About this report
In a quiet industrial corner of Finland, a small deep-tech company is reinventing one of warfare’s oldest tricks for the modern battlefield. Dobbelgänger Oy , an Oulu-based startup spun off from a leading Finnish research institute, is developing high-tech military decoys that look and “feel” real to enemy sensors .
These aren’t mere inflatable dummies – they are lightweight, mobile devices with authentic radar and thermal signatures , engineered through printed electronics and advanced materials. The goal is simple yet ambitious: to mislead adversaries’ drones, satellites, and reconnaissance systems into chasing ghosts, thereby protecting real soldiers and equipment .
Key questions this report answers
- How does Dobbelgänger build lightweight, mobile military decoys with authentic radar and thermal signatures using printed electronics and advanced materials?
