Techniques and Analysis of Thermal Infrared Camouflage in Foliated Backgrounds
Abstract
The objective of this effort was to investigate thermal infrared (3-5 micrometers and 8-14 micrometers) camouflage measures for military targets in foliated backgrounds. Common lightweight materials were considered as the possible emulators of the foliated backgrounds. These materials were considered to be cloth like material with very low thermal inertia. Since the thermal infrared camouflage problem exists throughout the day, the infrared signature was considered for the emulator and the foliage during the entire day. Both analytical and experimental evaluation of the foliage signature and analytical evaluation of a proposed emulator were examined.
