CAMOUFLAGE DEVICE FOR SURFACE OBJECTS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC F41H3/00 

FIELD: military affairs.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of military affairs, and more specifically to the means of hiding high-sided surface smooth-deck ships, ferries, barges and floating moorings from a complex of photographic, television and radar reconnaissance aerospace and ground-based. The camouflage device for surface objects contains a camouflage coating, a frame (2) consisting of a distribution box (5) fixed to the sides of the floating craft (6), hollow supports (7) evenly distributed and installed along the length of the box (5) and rigidly to it fixed, from a flexible air-tight material of a rectangular configuration with two flat coil springs at the base, polyurethane buoys and a cable-stayed system that combines them with supports (7) and a box (5) into a single closed structure, a pneumatic line with pneumatic lines (12) connected to it of the frame and pneumatic lines (13) of the coating, a control system represented by an adjustable shut-off valve installed on the pneumatic line, a pressure regulator, an ejector, a pressure relief valve and a coating purge valve. Camouflage cover consists of two canvases. One sheet (14) of tunnel belts connected into a single sheet, fixed from the outside to the upper plane of the supports (7) with an overlap of its lower part for contact with the aqueous medium, having internal voids in the form of capillaries and a supply channel to which a pneumatic pipeline is connected (13) coatings. The second sheet covering the above-deck space, with its fixation along the perimeter to the distribution box and the elements of watercraft protruding above the deck.

EFFECT: automation of unfolding and folding of the device is provided due to the use of hydrostatic pressure and the capillary structure of the coating.
