DEVELOPING A PROCESS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INFRARED CAMOUFLAGE UNIFORMS IN JUNGLE-MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN

Abstract

Developing methods to evaluate the effectiveness of camouflage against thermal reconnaissance devices reliably and close to reality is an urgent requirement today. Therefore, applying camouflage solutions against thermal reconnaissance equipment has been developing rapidly in many countries. However, to reach the target, it is essential to develop a process and method to evaluate the properties of camouflage materials and means in the laboratory, simulate targets in the virtual environment, and asset the effectiveness of camouflage directly at the scene. In Vietnam, research in the field still needs more information and has only recently been implemented. To deal with the target above, the research team conducted studies to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of thermal camouflage. This article focuses on developing a complete procedure for the field method to evaluate the effectiveness of thermal camouflage. The result can be applied to evaluate and select the thermal camouflage material and facilities in jungle - mountainous terrain.Thermal imaging
