A New Concept for Camouflage, Concealment, and Deception Using Laminated Paper Glass (LPG) Appliques

Abstract

This report describes the preliminary development of laminated paper glass (LPG) appliques as a new hybrid camouflage, concealment, and deception (CCD) technology by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Since LPG is a composite, the CCD designer can control the fundamental physical (tensile and shear stress) and spectral (emissivity, radar scattering, thermal conductivity) characteristics to his/her advantage. this report includes a brief summary of the evolution of the LPG concept and the description of the potential employment of LPG appliques as a signature manipulation material and as a construction material.
