METHOD OF CAMOUFLAGING SURFACE OBJECT AT STATIONARY BERTH Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F41H3/00 

FIELD: disguise.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to concealment and imitation of military objects and can be used to reduce the probability of detection of surface objects at stationary berths by aerospace and ground-based imagery intelligence means. Method consists in creating an optical volume-spatial frame mask above it by moving a floating berth by a tug and installing it parallel to a stationary one at a distance which does not prevent the passage of a surface object between them, wherein the mask frame is divided into two symmetrical halves with their subsequent combination into a single structure, each of which includes telescopic masts with heads, and with the possibility of their lifting by winches in the vertical plane to the height of the specified under-mask space, wherein drag ropes are secured to said heads to make mask frame horizontal part to be coated with masking set. Dimensions of the mask and consumption of masking sets for its device are determined based on overall dimensions of the concealed object and the need to close the object from observation not only from above, but also from the side. Surface object that has left the mask is replaced with a simulator of the object in the form of a second mooring from the connected pontoons, simulating the overall dimensions of the concealed object, the shape of the bow, as well as thermal and radar "portraits", using standard imitation means. Theoretical studies have shown that the proposed method of camouflaging a surface object can be used to reduce the probability of detecting surface objects at stationary berths by aerospace and ground-based imagery intelligence means, and the device for simulating its presence, reproducing tell-tale features and creating a single reflecting surface with a towed floating berth, will not allow the probing signal of the reconnaissance means to classify the type of the simulated surface object.

EFFECT: proposed in the technical solution design of the optical volume-spatial frame mask provides complete concealment of the object in the optical wavelength range of reconnaissance means, as well as the possibility of free entry of the object under the mask and exit from under it.
