Title : Camouflage textiles against advanced surveillance of defence in UV-Visible-IR spectrums for multidimensional combat backgrounds
Abstract:
The demonstration and structure of hypothesis is covered the design, simulation, formulation for suitability of deceiving materials on textiles substances for high performance camouflage textiles under multidimensional combat background (CB); exposing the concealment, detection, recognition and identification (CDRI) on spectral, chromatic, and achromatic illumination for camouflaging. The evaluation of camouflage coloration
has been critically focused on standard assessments process in ultraviolet-visible-infrared (UV-Vis-IR) ranges for CDRI of single and simultaneous CB. Present works on camouflage textiles depicts the illumination engineering of camouflage textiles for defence protection in multidimensional CB materials and methodology for concealment of latest surveillance technology. Research and development on camouflage textiles have been exhibited multidimensional CB environment for camouflage textiles such as dry leaves, green leaves, tree bark-woodland combat background; water-marine combat background; sand-desertland combat background; stone-stoneland combat background; snow-snowland combat background; sky combat background and ice-iceland combat background, concrete-concreteland combat background (DGTWSICB). The reflectance and chromatic profile of camouflage treated textiles has been analysed with the reflectance profile of CB materials. Aluminium, carbon black, chromium oxide, natural plant based natural dyes, natural sand-based silicon dioxide have been implemented for trialling of camouflage coloration as deceiving materials. The technology of adaptive camouflage Textiles was approached with thermochromic colorant and liquid crystal for multidimensional combat backgrounds. The principle of camouflage coloration has been considered for reflection altering of target signature against CB materials and surrounding CB materials. Experimentation of this hypothesis has also been judged the alternative way of camouflage assessment in addition of existing color matching principle with CB materials. The potential outcome of this research is not only limited to Vis ranges camouflage textiles in multidimensional CB environments; but also, UV-IR ranges for concealment and advancement of digital camera and hyperspectral camera to overcome the present challenge of camouflaging. Primary method of deceiving materials formulation was choosed for encapsulation into polyurethane-based solvent. Secondary method is an application of encapsulated deceiving materials on synthetic and cellulosic fabric such as polyamide 6, 6 and cotton fabric. The achievability and suitability of camouflage coloration against multidimensional CB environments have been experimented by established methods of textile coloration such as coating, dyeing, printing. Camouflage treated fabric has been scanned by spectroscopic, microscopic, and photographic illumination for suitability of materials, method, chromatic and achromatic properties of camouflaging. Color measurement spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, digital camera imaging, hyperspectral camera imaging were used for assessment methods of camouflage identification in terms of chromatic and achromatic characteristics of target signature (camouflage textiles) and multidimensional CBs. The treatment of camouflage materials or similar structure of materials or combination of materials against CBs have been cited for high-performance camouflage research on textile substances in terms of real illumination theory of camouflaging. Therefore, the principle of camouflage technology has versatile applications of defence protection for concealment of target signature against multidimensional CB. Optical advancement in UV-Vis- IR camouflage Textiles have been designed and experimentally approached for concealment of defense surveillance against multidimensional combat backgrounds. These camouflage textiles are broadly applicable for military protection such as clothing, weapon, vehicle and location hiding nets/tents, etc in terms of chromatic/spectral matching in UV-Visible-IR spectrums. Camouflage textiles, camouflage materials design, camouflage method design have been approached for concealment of defense target signature against DGTWSICB in UV-Vis-IR spectrums.
