A method for generating visible light and a deceptive signature pattern for an emissions producing asset is disclosed. The method comprises illuminating at least one lighting assembly of the asset in a pattern. The pattern produces visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset. The method also comprises modulating a radiant intensity of the signature of the at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle and operating a controller to regulate the pattern.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for generating visible light and a deceptive signature pattern for an emissions producing asset comprising: illuminating at least one lighting assembly of an existing lighting system of the asset in a pattern, said at least one lighting assembly producing visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset; modulating a radiant intensity of said signature of said at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle to create said pattern; and operating a controller to regulate said pattern. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein: said maximum radiant intensity is greater than a normal radiant intensity of the asset; and said minimum radiant intensity is at least equal to said normal radiant intensity of the asset. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a range of said radiant intensity of said signature is about 0.1 to about 0.9 times a radiant intensity of the asset. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein a centroid of said radiant intensity of said signature and a radiant intensity of said asset during each said repetitive cycle moves uniformly from a first of said at least one lighting assembly to a last of said at least one lighting assembly. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said modulating said radiant intensity comprises modulating said radiant intensity of a first of said at least one lighting assembly from said maximum radiant intensity to said minimum radiant intensity and concurrently modulating said radiant intensity of a next adjacent said at least one lighting assembly from said minimum radiant intensity to said maximum radiant intensity. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the asset is selected from the group consisting of an airborne vehicle, a space vehicle, a landborne vehicle, a waterborne vehicle, an amphibious vehicle, and a stationary asset. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein a centroid of said radiant intensity of said signature and a radiant intensity of the asset during each said repetitive cycle moves uniformly across the asset. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said wavelength comprises wavelengths within ultraviolet range through long wave infrared range. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said repetitive cycle comprises a modulation time of about 0.1 to about 3 seconds. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said repetitive cycle comprises a period of said maximum radiant intensity followed by a period of a lower radiant intensity followed by a snapback to said maximum radiant intensity. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein a time of said snap back is about 1 millisecond to about 200 milliseconds. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one lighting assembly is disposed on at least one of a wing tip, a tail tip, a belly, and a nose of the asset. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one lighting assembly has more than one illumination source. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein said illuminating said at least one lighting assembly is automatically activated when an altimeter of the asset decreases below about 15,000 feet to about 20,000 feet. 15. A system for altering the radiation signature pattern of an emissions producing asset comprising: an existing lighting system of the asset having at least one lighting assembly, said at least one lighting assembly illuminates in a pattern to produce visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset; a modulation means to modulate a radiant intensity of said signature of said at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle to create said pattern; and a controller to operate said at least one lighting assembly in said pattern. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein: said maximum radiant intensity is greater than a normal radiant intensity of the asset; and said minimum radiant intensity is at least equal to said normal radiant intensity of the asset. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein a centroid of said radiant intensity of said signature during said repetitive cycle moves uniformly from a first of said at least one lighting assembly to a last of said at least one lighting assembly. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein said modulation means modulates said radiant intensity of a first of said at least one lighting assembly from said maximum radiant intensity to said minimum radiant intensity and concurrently modulates said radiant intensity of a next adjacent said at least one lighting assembly from said minimum radiant intensity to said maximum radiant intensity. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein the asset is selected from the group consisting of an airborne vehicle, a space vehicle, a landborne vehicle, a waterborne vehicle, an amphibious vehicle, and a stationary asset. 20. The system of claim 15, wherein a centroid of said radiant intensity of said signature and a radiant intensity of the asset during each said repetitive cycle moves uniformly across the asset. 21. The system of claim 15, wherein said wavelength comprises wavelengths within ultraviolet range through long wave infrared range. 22. The system of claim 15, wherein said repetitive cycle comprises a modulation time of about 0.1 to about 3 seconds. 23. The system of claim 15, wherein said repetitive cycle comprises a period of said maximum radiant intensity followed by a period of a lower radiant intensity followed by a snapback to said maximum radiant intensity. 24. The system of claim 23, wherein a time of said snap back is about 1 millisecond to about 200 milliseconds. 25. The system of claim 15, wherein said at least one lighting assembly is disposed on at least one of a wing tip, a tail tip, a belly, and a nose of the asset. 26. The system of claim 15, wherein said at least one lighting assembly has more than one illumination source. 27. The system of claim 15, further comprising: an activation means that automatically activates said pattern when an altimeter of the asset decreases below about 15,000 feet to about 20,000 feet. 28. The system of claim 15, wherein said radiant intensity of said signature is about 0.1 to about 0.9 times a radiant intensity of the asset. 29. A method for generating visible light and a deceptive signature pattern for an emissions producing asset comprising: illuminating at least one lighting assembly of an existing lighting system of the asset in a pattern, said at least one lighting assembly producing visible light synchronous with a signature of a wavelength in a substantially similar range as normal emissions of the asset; modulating a radiant intensity of said signature of said at least one lighting assembly between a minimum radiant intensity and a maximum radiant intensity in a repetitive cycle to create said pattern, said radiant intensity of said signature is about 0.1 to about 0.9 times a normal radiant intensity of the asset; and operating a controller to regulate said pattern.
