ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for camouflaging military targets in the spectral range of electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet light to radar waves by contrast reduction between target and background. Emission and/or remission contrast of the target towards the natural background is reduced by applying camouflaging nets which are provided with a specially cut garnishing made of a compound texture in which each single layer affects part of the total electromagnetic spectrum. The layers are arranged so that the camouflaging effect of a single layer does not destroy the others. The reduction of the temperature contrast between target and background of warm or hot targets is achieved by means of heat-reduction carpets. The reduction of temperature contrast of objects currently producing heat is achieved by additionally blowing off hot gases that are surrounded by laminar flows of cold air in special channels where warming up of the camouflaging set-up itself by the hot gases is avoided. The hot areas of the military objects are covered by heat-reduction carpets at a distance of a few inches, thereby allowing air circulation beneath. By applying the broad-band camouflaging nets above the carpets, shadows are applied to the carpets during sunlight so that additional heating by sunlight is avoided.
