Abstract: Systems, kits and methods that are related to camouflaging physical items are provided. The camouflage system for securement to a physical item can include a substrate layer having a front surface and a camouflage pattern on the front surface. One or more micro-terrain layers can be disposed over the camouflage pattern and the front surface of substrate layer forming at least a portion of an outer surface of the camouflage system to form a frictional contact surface.

Abstract: Systems and assemblies for simultaneous adaptive camouflage, concealment and deception are provided. The assemblies that can be used in the systems include a vinyl substrate layer and a miniaturized thermoelectric device array secured to the vinyl substrate layer. The miniaturized thermoelectric device array is configured to provide an adaptive thermal signature to a side of the miniaturized thermoelectric device array that faces outward from the vinyl substrate layer. A flexible image display matrix can be secured on the vinyl substrate layer. The flexible image display matrix can be configured to display visual images. A laminate layer can be secured over the vinyl substrate layer covering the flexible image display matrix and the miniaturized thermoelectric device array to provide protection and strengthen the assemblies. One or more nanomaterials can be disposed on the vinyl substrate layer or the laminate layer to provide thermal or radar suppression.

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.

Abstract: Veil systems for providing camouflage and methods for making the same are provided. The veil system can include a base substrate having a first side and a second side with a first camouflage pattern printed on the first side of the base substrate. The veil system can also include an outer mesh having a first side and a second side with the first camouflage pattern printed on the first side of the outer mesh. The base substrate and the outer mesh can be connectable so that the first side of the base substrate faces the second side of the outer mesh and the first side of the outer mesh faces outward. The first camouflage pattern on the first side of the base substrate substantially aligns with the first camouflage pattern on the first side of the outer mesh. The outer mesh provides visibility from the second side through the first side of the outer mesh to permit observation beyond the veil system.

Abstract: Quick change multi-layered deception systems and methods for visually disguising a physical item is provided. One or more other vinyl adhesive layers are applied successively over a surface of a physical item. Each of the one or more other vinyl adhesive layers has a different pattern from the layer preceding it. A quick removal preparation can be applied between each of the one or more vinyl adhesive layers, whereby each of the one or more vinyl adhesive layers is configured to be easily removable from the preceding vinyl adhesive layer or surface of the physical item.

Abstract: A site-specific photographic camouflage arrangement and method for making the same are provided. The site-specific photographic camouflage arrangement includes a digital photographic image and distorting disruptive patterns placed on the digital photographic image to create visual confusion to disguise the recognizable form of a camouflaged object by breaking up its outline.
