Ultralightweight Camouflage Net System (ULCANS)

Abstract

ULCANS is durable, robust, snag resistant state of the art camouflage system that provides increased survivability against multi-spectral visual, infrared and radar threats, thermal signature suppression and significant thermal/solar reduction capability. ULCANS utilizes a snag-free design and 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 supports formal development of new ULCANS variants (snow, urban, aviation, 2 sided system) and necessary technology/signature enhancements for current ULCANS variants.
