Vespid Dynamics Thermal Decoy Beacon TDB-3

A small device that generates a thermal signature mimicking a human body, drawing the attention of thermal imaging systems and heat-seeking autonomous weapons away from real targets. The TDB-3 produces a 37°C heat pattern in a human-shaped profile using embedded heating elements, and can be placed on walls, floors, or furniture to create false targets. The beacon operates for 12 hours on a single charge and can be configured to simulate stationary, walking, or running thermal profiles.

Restricted — tactical deception device

specifications

thermal signature	37°C human-profile pattern
profiles	Stationary
info	walking; running simulation
battery	12 hours continuous
weight	0.15 kg
size	15 cm disc
placement	Adhesive mounting on any surface
quantity typically deployed	4-8 per operation
effectiveness	Defeats standard thermal imaging and heat-seeking systems

story hooks

A building assault team placed 20 TDB-3 beacons around the target structure — the defending thermal sensors showed 20 approaching hostiles when the actual team was 5 people entering from the one unmonitored approach.
TDB-3 beacons have been placed throughout a Tier 2 district to overwhelm corporate thermal surveillance with false human signatures — the system is drowning in phantom contacts and real threats are invisible.

physical description

visual profile	A flat, disc-shaped thermal emitter with a slightly domed top surface. The form factor resembles a sophisticated smoke detector crossed with a tactical device. Its compact, minimalist design belies its sophisticated heat-generation internals. The top features a subtle hexagonal pattern of thermal vents.
dimensions	15 cm diameter disc, approximately 2.5 cm thick
weight description	Lightweight and pocketable at 150 grams — easily deployable in multiples. Adhesive backing allows one-handed placement.
primary material	Aircraft-grade polymer composite housing with embedded ceramic thermal elements
finish	Matte charcoal-gray with slight texture for grip; top surface has micro-perforated venting pattern
color scheme	Gunmetal gray primary with accent strips of crimson-red edge banding. Vespid Dynamics branding in white sans-serif lettering.
interface elements	Recessed tactile button on underside (power/profile selector), single tri-color LED indicator (green/amber/red) embedded in top center, micro-USB charging port on edge shrouded by rubber gasket
distinctive features	Hexagonal thermal vent pattern on top surface glowing faintly orange-red during operation Adhesive backing visible around circumference — designed for single-use deployment Subtle angular Vespid Dynamics delta-wing logo etched into edge band Operational mode indicator: running/walking/stationary select via recessed button underneath
manufacturer markings	VESPID DYNAMICS stamped in white; MODEL TDB-3 serial number on backing; GLMZ manufacturing compliance stamps; warranty void if adhesive tampered
condition typical	Fresh units show pristine finish; deployed units still adhere firmly to walls/floors with orange glow visible around thermal vents. Field-used units may show dust accumulation on vents or slight adhesive residue.

Gunmetal-gray disc device with red accent edge shown in three angles: top-down view showing hexagonal vent pattern glowing faint orange, side profile showing 2.5cm thickness and adhesive backing, angled 45-degree view. Dramatic blue-red neo-noir lighting casting sharp shadows. Mounted on sleek black composite surface alongside tactical gear. LED indicator glowing amber. Photorealistic with subtle heat shimmer effect around vents. GLMZ Great Lakes industrial aesthetic. --ar 3:2 --v 6
