Default artificial ground

I remember that some types of military vehicles with radioes and useing
whip antennas had a so called "artificial" gnd thing that they threw
out on the surounging area of the vehicle that greatly enhanced
their signal coverage from the whip. I think MFJ made one of those
at one rimw or another too! Would this type gnd be of any benefit
if I am useing inverted dipoles (mostly vertical polarized). I mean
a 40' mast at the center and dual dipoles slopeing down about a 40
degree angle to the end tie points. I do use an all band tuner
(manually tuned) also to keep swr flat. Any Ideas ??
