DEVICE FOR SIMULATING THERMAL CONTRAST OF WEAPONS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F41J1/08 F41J2/00 

FIELD: weapons concealment means.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of ensuring concealment of weapons and military equipment from aerospace optoelectronic reconnaissance means of infrared range. Inflatable shell is made of sections equipped with a safety valve and a quick release valve, internal chambers inflated separately by means of a distribution unit. Chambers are controlled by an electronic unit based on the readings of the thermocouples, which is configured to regulate and distribute air flows with the required temperature. Air flows are supplied from vortex tube connected to electric pneumatic valve and compressed air source.

EFFECT: higher efficiency by providing the ability to regulate the temperature of the entire surface of the inflatable shell of the simulator to value that will correspond to the real object thermal contrast distribution value taking into account dynamically changing thermal conditions, background and observation conditions.
