Abstract
A camouflage system for thermal and visual camouflage of a movable object comprising at least two frames and a plurality of reflective elements connected to each of the at least two frames, each of the reflective elements is made of a reflective material having a reflectivity of at least 90 percent in the electromagnetic (EM) wave length range of 3-12 microns and all of the reflective panels are positioned in a predefined angle with respect to a vertical axis, wherein the predefined angle is in the range of 6 to 25 degrees so that when installed on the object an upper part of each of the reflective panels is more distant from the camouflaged object than a lower part of the same reflective panel.
Claims18
A camouflage system for thermal and visual camouflage of a movable object, comprising:
- at least two frames including a first frame and a second frame;
- a plurality of reflective elements connected to each of the at least two frames;
- and
- a folding and deploying mechanism, adapted to change a relative position of at least the first frame with respect to at least the second frame,
- wherein each of the reflective elements comprises reflective material disposed on at least one side of the reflective element and having reflectivity of at least 85 percent in a visual range and reflectivity in an electromagnetic (EM) wavelength range of 3-5 and 8-14 microns of at least 80 percent, and
- wherein all of the reflective elements are positioned in a predefined angle with respect to a vertical plane so that the upper edge of each element is more remote from the object than the lower edge of that element, the predefined angle is in a range of 6 to 25 degrees, and
- wherein the folding and deploying mechanism comprises:
- two guiding rails disposed each one along one of the sides of at least some of the at least two frames, and
- two rollers disposed each one on each of the sides of the at least some of the at least two frames, each of the rollers is adapted to roll along a corresponding rail of an adjacent frame, allowing each frame to be guided into a stowed position or into a deployed position with respect to an adjacent frame.
A camouflage system for camouflaging objects, comprising:
- at least one camouflage set of frames;
- a see-through panel;
- and
- a folding and deploying mechanism, adapted to change a relative position of at least a first frame with respect to at least a second frame,
- wherein the camouflage set of frames comprising:
- at least two frames;
- and
- a plurality of elongated reflective elements connected to each of the at least two frames,
- wherein each of the elongated reflective elements comprises a backing material and a reflective layer having reflectivity of at least 85 percent in a visual range and reflectivity in an electromagnetic (EM) wave length range of 3-5 and 8-14 microns of at least 80 percent, and
- wherein each of the reflective elements is positioned in a predefined angle with respect to a vertical plane so that the upper edge of each panel is more remote from the object than the lower edge of that panel, the predefined angle is in a range of 6 to 25 degrees, and
- wherein the see-through panel has a plurality of cut-outs, and
- wherein the folding and deploying mechanism comprises:
- two guiding rails disposed each one along one of the sides of the at least some of the at least two frames, and
- two rollers disposed each one on each of the sides of the at least some of the at least two frames, each of the rollers is adapted to roll along a corresponding rail of an adjacent frame, allowing each frame to be guided into a stowed position or into a deployed position with respect to an adjacent frame.
