Abstract
A fabric (30) includes a first flexible fabric layer (32), having fabric emissivity properties in a visible radiation range that are selected so as to mimic ambient emissivity properties of a deployment environment of the fabric, and at least one second flexible fabric layer (34), which is joined to the first flexible fabric layer, and which is configured to scatter long-wave radiation that is incident on the fabric. The first and second flexible fabric layers are perforated by a non-uniform pattern of perforations (44) extending over at least a part of the fabric.
Claims22
A camouflage garment, comprising:
- a fabric configured to be worn over a body of a human subject comprising:
- an outer layer having a patterned pigmentation designed to mimic ambient properties of a deployed environment of the human subject;
- a metallized component forming a reflective layer designed to partially block subject thermal infrared radiation by partial scattering and partial specular reflecting of a subject thermal infrared radiation;
- and
- a blurring component designed to scatter and reflect background thermal radiation, wherein the blurring component includes glass microballoons configured to scatter radiation, and wherein the glass microballoons of the blurring component are laminated to the reflective layer of the metallized component so as to form an internal structure,
- wherein the fabric has a plurality of perforations configured to provide ventilation when worn over the body of the human subject, each of the plurality of perforations extending through the patterned pigmentation, the metallized component, and the blurring component.
A method for producing a garment, comprising:
- constructing a multicomponent fabric including:
- laminating a reflective metallic layer to a blurring component layer so as to form an internal structure, wherein the reflective metallic layer includes a metallic component designed to partially block thermal infrared radiation, and wherein the blurring component layer includes glass microballoons designed to scatter radiation;
- and
- attaching the internal structure to an outer surface layer having a patterned pigmentation to mimic ambient conditions of a deployed environment;
- cutting a plurality of perforations through the multicomponent fabric, each of the plurality of perforations being configured to provide ventilation when worn over a body of a human subject;
- and
- cutting and sewing the multicomponent fabric so as to form a garment to be worn over the body of the human subject.
A multiple component garment comprising:
- an outer layer having a patterned pigmentation designed to mimic ambient properties of a deployed environment;
- a metallized component forming a reflective layer designed to partially block subject thermal infrared radiation by partial scattering and partial specular reflecting of a subject thermal infrared radiation;
- and
- a blurring component designed to scatter and reflect background thermal radiation wherein the blurring component includes glass microballoons configured to scatter radiation, the glass microballoons of the blurring component being laminated to the reflective layer of the metallized component so as to form an internal structure,
- wherein the multiple component garment has a plurality of perforations configured to provide ventilation, each of the plurality of perforations extending through the patterned pigmentation, the metallized component, and the blurring component.
