  • Patent number: 10570639
    Abstract: A shape disrupter for a net support system may have a conical body and an elliptical shape in plan view. The shape disrupter may have low thermal signature and low weight. The shape disrupter may be stackable. The shape disrupter may have a protrusion on the shape disrupter for fixing each of the shape disrupters in place during stacking. The shape disrupter may have cutouts or openings to reduce the weight and thermal signature of the shape disrupter. The shape disrupter of the present disclosure may cooperate with support poles or nets to provide a support system for large nets or screens.
