Description:
MOBILE CAMOUFLAGE

Technical Field The invention relates to camouflage for military vehicles.

The invention relates in particular to a mobile camouflage which provides camouflage function for use in military vehicles. The State of the Art

Nowadays, tanks, guns, military vehicles, ammunition must be covered with camouflage cover in a fixed place to protect from various detection systems. Camouflage is ensured by fixing with support systems. However, it is not possible with these fabrics to protect a moving military vehicle from said detection systems. In the present technique, it is time to remove the camouflage cover and support system when the vehicle is desired to be moved. In existing applications, a thermal layer is used in addition to the hot areas of the vehicle. In the present invention, the mobile camouflage system can be moved without lifting, and protection against thermal cameras is achieved without the necessity of using a heat layer.

As a result, there is a need for a mobile camouflage, camouflage function for use in military vehicles, and the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitates an improvement in the relevant technical field.

Purpose of the invention

In order to remove the disadvantages of the known art, the purpose of the invention is to provide a camouflage against the detection systems (radar, thermal camera, night vision, visual, etc.) of the military vehicles or equipment in motion.

Another purpose of the invention is to increase the ability of the enemy to move without being detected by the enemy when a military vehicle needs to be displaced in a possible operation. In order to provide the above advantages, the invention provides a device for protecting against detection systems on the move; thanks to fixing on the vehicle, the outer layer comprising radar absorptive material, metal compounds or conductive polymers, titanium dioxide containing compounds or infrared wave absorbing compounds or atropine or electromagnetic wave absorbing compounds preferably comprises a polyester or polyamide outer surface as the intermediate layer and is preferably made of polypropylene or monofilament polymer material Silica gel-impregnated intermediate obtained by impregnating silica gel with preferably felt-like fabric, instead of an intermediate layer brought to the three-dimensional form, or Ram-containing intermediate layer produced from woven or nonwoven fabric containing RAM, glass fiber or glass fiber- a finished glass fiber layer and a mobile camouflage obtained by joining said layers.

The structural and characteristic features of the invention and all advantages thereof will be more clearly understood by means of the following figures and detailed description which are made by referring to these figures, and therefore the evaluation should be made in consideration of these figures and detailed explanation.

3.1 Inner Surface of the Inner Layer Detailed Explanation of the Invention

The invention provides camouflage function for use in military vehicles; an outer layer (1 ), an interlayer (2), an inner layer (3).

Figure 1 shows the views of the layers (1 , 2, 3) of the invention. According to the figure, the outer layer (1 ); also known as the multispectral camouflage net, has the absorber and scattering feature of radar waves. The outer layer (1 ) also provides the ability to be fixed during night vision systems and is preferably knitted (warp knitted) fabric having a checkerboard-like perforated structure. Due to the structure of the tissue (structure), the ability to catch no radar is high. Radar absorbing materials are used (e.g. carbon nano tube, carbonyl ferrite, graphite and compounds). Metal compounds or conductive polymers are used to provide protection from radar fixation. Titanium dioxide containing compounds or infrared wave absorbing compounds or atropine or electromagnetic wave absorbing compounds are used to prevent night vision. For visual purposes, camouflage printing is used. In order to provide all these properties, the outer layer 1 is formed by bringing together the said chemicals and materials. Non- flammability can also be achieved. Also, shown in FIG. 1 is an interlayer (2). The interlayer (2) preferably has a 3D form. The three-dimensional interlayer (2.1 ) may have a thickness of 1 to 5 cm. The outer surface of the three-dimensional interlayer (2.1 ) is polyester or polyamide, the intermediate layer joining these outer surfaces is polypropylene or monofilament polymer material.

In an alternative embodiment, the fabric in the form of felt is silica gel impregnated interlayer (2.2). The thickness of the silica gel impregnated interlayer (2.2) is between 0.2 and 3 cm. In another alternative, there is an interlayer with ram feature (2.3) in the form of a woven mesh or nonwoven surface containing radar absorbing material (RAM). The interlayer (2) prevents the heating of the inside air by providing heat insulation and air permeability. Thus, providing protection against thermal imagers.

Also shown in FIG. 1 is the inner layer (3). The inner layer (3) is made of glass fiber or a mixture of glass fiber and polyester. The inner surface of the inner layer (3.1 ) is covered with aluminum. This inner layer (3) is characterized by high heat resistance (1000-1200 degrees). This also provides thermal camouflage.

The inner surface of the inner layer (3.1 ) covered with aluminum is facing and on the inner side. It reflects the incoming heat backwards.

The 3 layers (1 , 2, 3) mentioned above can be sewn on top of each other, mounted on the vehicle with velcro or strap, adhesive tapes. In addition, camouflage made from these layers (1 , 2, 3) can be mounted on the entire vehicle or at certain locations.

The invention is a mobile camouflage production method which provides protection from the detection systems on the move by being fixed on the vehicle,

- an outer layer (1 ) comprising the radar absorber, metal compounds or conductive polymers, titanium dioxide containing compounds or infrared wave absorbing compounds or atropine or electromagnetic wave absorbing compounds are obtained by means of a warp knitting method, preferably with a woven, knitted or nonwoven surface form - using the silica gel impregnated interlayer (2.2) obtained by impregnating silica gel onto the felt fabric in place of an interlayer (2.1 ) preferably a three-dimensional form, made of polyester or polyamide outer surfaces and a polypropylene or monofilament polymer material in the middle part as the interlayer (2) or Ram-specific intermediate layer (2.3) produced from woven or non-woven fabric containing RAM

- an inner layer (3) made of glass fiber or glass fiber-polyester material having an aluminum-covered inner surface of the inner layer (3.1 ) and the steps of combining said layers (1 , 2, 3). By combining these 3 layers (1 , 2, 3), camouflage can also be mobilized for vehicles in motion. Because of fixed on the vehicle, it is protected from the detection systems in case of movement. The mobile camouflage system can be fixed to the whole or part of the vehicle. Interlocking can be done with loop or hanging rope or adhesive tape.

The scope of protection of this application is set out in the claims section and cannot be limited to what is described above for illustrative purposes. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can make use of similar structures and / or apply this structure to other similar fields used in the related art. It is therefore evident that such structures will lack the novelty criterion.
