Abstract
The invention pertains to a device for signature adaptation, comprising at least one surface element (100; 300; 500) arranged to assume a determined thermal distribution, wherein said surface element comprises at least one temperature generating element (150; 450a, 450b, 450c) arranged to generate at least one predetermined temperature gradient to a portion of said at least one surface element. Said surface element (100; 300; 500) comprising at least one display surface (50), wherein said display surface (50) is arranged to radiate at least one predetermined spectrum. The invention also pertains to a method for signature adaptation and an object such as a craft provided with the device according to the invention.
Claims22
A device for signature adaptation, comprising at least one surface element arranged to assume a determined thermal distribution, wherein said surface element comprises at least one temperature generating element arranged to generate at least one predetermined temperature gradient to a portion of said at least one surface element, wherein the device is characterized in that said at least one surface element comprises at least one display surface, wherein said at least one display surface is arranged to radiate at least one predetermined spectrum.
Method for signature adaptation comprising the step of:
- providing a determined thermal distribution to a surface element based on generating a predetermined temperature gradient to a portion of a surface element using a temperature generating element;
- characterized by the step of:
- radiating at least one predetermined spectrum from at least one display surface arranged on said surface element.
