ABSTRACT:
The thermal emission characteristics of sheet form camouflage material is predetermined to match closely the known thermal emission characteristics of the natural environment in which the particular camouflage material is intended to be used. This control is accomplished by the combination of a reflecting thin metallic layer covered on at least the exposed side by a layer of plastic material comprising at least two different plastic materials each having different emissivity properties. The reflecting layer both minimizes the heating of the camouflage material from sources covered by the material and reflects incident heat from meteorological sources such as solar warming and the plastic layer controls and determines the radiation of heat from all parts of the exposed surface of the camouflage to present to surveillance equipment a thermal-picture closely simulating that of the surrounding terrain.
