  • Patent number: 8340358
    Abstract: A visual camouflage system that provides at least one of thermal or radar suppression is described. The system includes a vinyl layer having a camouflage pattern on a front surface of the vinyl layer. The camouflage pattern includes a site-specific camouflage pattern. A laminate layer is secured over the front surface of the vinyl layer coating the camouflage pattern to provide protection to the camouflage pattern and strengthen the vinyl layer. One or more nanomaterials are disposed on at least one of the vinyl layer, camouflage pattern, or the laminate to provide at least one of thermal or radar suppression.

  • Publication number: 20120218633
    Abstract: Targets, target systems, and related methods are provided. The targets can provide non-electric or low electric dynamic imagery and/or thermal signature capabilities that can be used in target systems. For example, a target can include a substrate forming a target body and having a front side. A combined image is disposed on the front side of the substrate with the combined image including a combination of at least two primary images of a potential target provided through lenticular printing. A lenticular lens can be disposed over the combined image so that the combined image and the lenticular lens generate an observed image of the potential target body when viewed by an observer. Additionally or alternatively, a target can be provided that includes a substrate forming a target body and at least one substance disposed on the substrate configured to create a thermal signature mimicking a potential target.
