Feasibility Assessment of the Perfusion Screen Camouflage Concept

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA120553 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This study examines the feasibility of the perfusion screen camouflage concept primarily as thermal infrared camouflage, but also in regard to its potential as a component of the CS-86 universal camouflage system. Thermal performance criteria were developed. A two layer form of perfusion screen was developed and tested. Results indicate feasibility as thermal camouflage and compatibility with CS-86 requirements.
