ABSORBERS OF NEAR INFRARED RADIATION
Abstract
Four methods have been available to bring infrared reflectance to values that afford optimum camouflage against detection by devices such as the sniperscope. One difficulty with these has been their limitation to dark combat shades. No useful method has been found to produce light shades such as Khaki 1, with low values of IR reflectance in the 1-micron region of the spectrum. The report describes results with two new compounds that have recently become available on a limited commercial basis. Results are based on the ability of these compounds to absorb more strongly the radiation in the region from 0.9 to 1.1 microns than that in the visible region of the spectrum.
