| rdfs:comment | - A "Duck blind" was a term that originated from a method used by Human hunters to catch their prey, such as ducks, off guard. The expression was then used in the 23rd and 24th century for the method of holographically camouflaging observation posts and cultural observers to prevent pre-warp inhabitants from discovering the observers.
- A duck blind was employed on Mintaka III in 2366 by a three-man anthropology team. The power needed to maintain the duck blind required a fusion reactor with an output of 4.2 gigawatts. The duck blind failed when the reactor suffered a serious malfunction, and the observer team was discovered by the Mintakans. (TNG: "Who Watches The Watchers" )

| abstract | - A duck blind was employed on Mintaka III in 2366 by a three-man anthropology team. The power needed to maintain the duck blind required a fusion reactor with an output of 4.2 gigawatts. The duck blind failed when the reactor suffered a serious malfunction, and the observer team was discovered by the Mintakans. (TNG: "Who Watches The Watchers" ) A similar technology was employed on the Ba'ku planet in the Briar Patch in 2375. This blind used three holographic emitters, and also provided the masking fields for the team's isolation suits. The duck blind was disabled by a malfunctioning Lieutenant Commander Data after he discovered the true nature of the mission - to displace the Ba'ku from their homes, and harvest the metaphasic radiation in the planet's rings.
