WIDE-RANGE CAMOUFLAGE COAT AND METHOD FOR ITS MANUFACTURE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: camouflage, in particular, camouflage coats for reduction of noticeability of ground objects in various wavelength ranges. SUBSTANCE: separate elements of current-conducting material are interlaced in the base in the form of a net. Each separate element has the main bearing layer in the form of radioparent polymeric film, additional surface layer of metal applied onto the polymeric film on its one side by vacuum deposition, and two extreme protective layers of enamel including loading pigments and antipyrine additives. The above elements are made the form of a flexible string of a helical shape, with radially diverging relative to the circumference center strips of a rectangular shape, 1 to 2 mm wide, in the form of "eyelashes". The diameter of the string internal circle in the axis of twisting over the entire length of the element is constant and makes up 3 to 5 mm. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of camouflage of ground objects, required stability of reduction of the power of the reflected signal within λ = 0.2 to 0.5 cm, improved operating characteristics of the camouflage coat and reduced labor content of its manufacture. 4 cl, 5 dwg
