Camouflage Woven Fabric Hooded Cloak for Protection against Thermal Surveillance Imagers

Anotace: This article enumerates a number of up-to-date achievements in the field of creating metamaterials that can theoretically be used when manufacturing the means of camouflage for armed forces personnel. A high-performance version of the design of camouflage hooded cloak for protecting servicemen is presented. The presence of slot air flaps for the air exchange via thermal convection between the external environment and the internal cavity of the cloak will prevent the formation of unwanted zones of localized heat concentration with the presence of an elevated temperature on the surface of the cloak fabric in the course of a long period of use. Prototypes of such a design of an invisibility cloak have successfully passed tests during combat operations in Ukraine.
