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.
Claims20
A camouflage garment configured to be worn over a subject, the camouflage garment comprising:
- an outer surface having a patterned pigmentation designed to mimic ambient properties of an environment;
- a metallized component forming a reflective layer designed to at least partially block a thermal infrared radiation of the subject and blend a background thermal infrared radiation by partial scattering and partial specular reflecting of the subject thermal infrared radiation;
- a blurring component designed to scatter and reflect background thermal radiation, wherein the blurring component is applied to the reflective layer of the metallized component so as to form an internal structure;
- and
- a plurality of perforations configured to provide partial ventilation to reduce heat generated by the subject, each of the plurality of perforations extending through the outer surface and the internal structure.
A method of constructing a multicomponent fabric comprising:
- applying a blurring component to a reflective metallic component so as to form an internal structure, wherein the reflective metallic component is designed to partially block thermal infrared radiation of an object and to partially blend thermal infrared radiation of a background;
- and
- attaching the internal structure to an outer surface layer having a patterned pigmentation to mimic ambient conditions of a deployed environment;
- and
- cutting and sewing the multicomponent fabric so as to form a garment be worn over a subject.
A multiple component fabric comprising:
- an outer layer having a patterned pigmentation designed to mimic ambient properties of an environment;
- a reflective layer including a metallized component designed to partially block thermal infrared radiation of a subject and partially blend thermal infrared radiation of the subject by partial scattering and partial specular reflecting of the thermal infrared radiation of the subject;
- and
- a blurring component designed to scatter and reflect background thermal radiation, and applied to the reflective layer so as to form an internal structure.
