Feasibility Assessment of the Perfusion Screen Camouflage Concept

Abstract

This study examines the feasibility of the perfusion screen camouflage concept primarily as thermal infrared camouflage, but also in regard to its potential as a component of the CS-86 universal camouflage system. Thermal performance criteria were developed. A two layer form of perfusion screen was developed and tested. Results indicate feasibility as thermal camouflage and compatibility with CS-86 requirements.
