  • Patent number: 6873283
    Abstract: A rapidly deployable camouflage device for concealing recognizable signatures of military objects, comprising a camouflage balloon (1) and a deployment and undeployment device, the latter being equipped with a housing (2) and a fan (3) for inflating the balloon (1) arranged on an opening (4) in the housing. According to the invention, the balloon can be pulled into the housing by means of pull lines (7) secured at one end to the inside of the balloon opposite the opening (4), and at the other end to a motor-driven winding device inside the housing (2). The balloon is thus pulled in in such a way that it is reversed inside the housing, from which state if can then be blown out unreversed as rapidly deployable camouflage.
