DEVICE FOR CAMOUFLAGE OF LOW-ALTITUDE FLIGHT VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F41H3/00 

FIELD: camouflage of military low-altitude flight vehicles from the aids of the enemy opto-visual reconnaissance.

SUBSTANCE: the device has a background brightness meter oriented in the direction of the daylight sky background connected to the brightness control device, whose output is connected to a light-emitting device located on the lower surface of the flight vehicle. The light-emitting device represents a multilayer narrow strip made in the form of a base of dielectric paint-and-varnish material, layer of light-emitting coating made in the form of a multilayer matrix located in succession under the transparent fairing from one of the outer wing to the other, each element of the matrix consist of a series-connected light-emitting diode and a control transistor. The thickness of the whole light-emitting device does not exceed three thickness of the dielectric paint-and-varnish material.

EFFECT: expanded range of camouflage range at a reduced power consumption.
