Camouflage laminate with field-adaptable visual and IR signature management

A camouflage system suitable for protecting an asset from detection, the system comprising a camouflage cover configured to match a spectral signature of surrounding vegetation, the camouflage cover including:

• a plurality of boundary layers comprising a first boundary layer, and a second boundary layer below the first boundary layer;
• at least one circulating channel formed between said boundary layers, said at least one circulating channel including a liquid-circulating channel formed between the first and second boundary layers through which a circulating liquid can be circulated, the liquid-circulating channel being visible through the first boundary layer;
• and
• a first liquid distribution medium located within the liquid-circulating channel and configured to distribute the circulating liquid throughout the liquid-circulating channel by absorption, wicking, or a combination of absorption and wicking of the circulating liquid;
• said liquid-circulating channel including a liquid feed in liquid communication with the first liquid distribution medium;
• a bottom-most of said plurality of boundary layers being a water-permeable boundary layer configured to enable water that is circulated through a lowest of the circulating channels to evaporate from below the camouflage cover;
• the camouflage cover being configured to present a visible and IR spectral signature that approximates a visible and IR spectral signature of surrounding vegetation.
