IR decoy have prominent effect on anti-missile, and it also have prominent influence on naval warfare. This paper briefly describes operation principle of IR decoy recovery anti-vessel missile, analyses the forming reason of IR decoy blind-area and the factor which influence the size of blind-area, and analyses the tactics method which avoid the missile in the blind-area, and finally describes operation principle and tactics application of IR decoy. The authors establish the IR decoy recovery anti-vessel missile evaluation model. Form this evaluation, the paper reports the results of a study in which the effects of various test methods on the IR decoy recovery anti-vessel missile in the tests have been examined. The results have indicated that test methods have a significant effect on IR decoy recovery anti-vessel missile. These effects are mostly affected on test takers of high proficiency.
