Ultra-Lightweight Camouflage Net System (ULCANS)
Abstract
ULCANS provides increased survivability against multi-spectral visual, infrared and radar threats, thermal signature suppression and significant thermal/solar reduction capability. ULCANS is capable of use in all types of weather and climatic conditions except in heavy snow and winds. ULCANS variants are integrated systems that are very lightweight, easily deployable, versatile, user friendly and tailored to the equipment meeting the requirements of operations for combat systems, command and control equipment, logistic support sites, tactical facilities, and fixed facilities. RDT&E funding for ULCANS Increment I program supports formal development for necessary technology/signature enhancements of three ULCANS Increment I variants (Woodland, Arctic, Desert/Urban) to replace current legacy ULCANS variants (Woodland and Desert). Funding supports modernization of current camouflage net systems by investigating technology insertions that decrease Soldier and platform detection from threat sensors. Funding also supports developing initial prototypes to enable refinement of operational requirements and early user feedback to maintain overmatch signature reduction against future threat sensors.
