    摘要: An apparatus includes at least one transmitter configured to transmit wireless signals that create different localized heating in different portions of a scene. The different localized heating in the different portions of the scene is based on different moisture or liquid content within objects in the scene. The apparatus also includes at least one controller configured to control the at least one transmitter in order to control the different localized heating in the different portions of the scene and to create a desired thermal radiation pattern in the scene. The desired thermal radiation pattern in the scene may include a camouflage pattern that increases clutter in an infrared image, at least one temporary infrared marker, or at least one false shape in an infrared image. The desired thermal radiation pattern could reduce a contrast between a cold infrared background in the scene and one or more targets in the scene.

    摘要: The present invention is relates uses of a lens sheet as a camouflaging agent in various applications. Various embodiments of a lens sheet assembly, methods of making the various embodiments of the lens sheet assembly and methods of using embodiments by placing the assembly between an object to be camouflaged and an observer are disclosed. Light from the object undergoes at least one of refraction and reflection such that the object is substantially disguised from the observer.

    摘要: An embodiment of the present invention provides a blocking door that is pivotally disposed on a fixed nacelle of a tiltrotor aircraft for pivoting between a stowed position when a proprotor pylon is in the substantially horizontal position and a protective blocking position in front of the proprotor pylon when the proprotor pylon is positioned in the non-horizontal position. In other aspects, there is provided a blocking door and a method of reducing infrared and/or radar signatures of rotorcraft with a rotatable proprotor.

    摘要: A counter measure apparatus and method for modifying a path of an electromagnetic detector signal (204) so as to prevent incidence thereof on a platform (200), the apparatus comprising an electromagnetic radiation source, communicably coupled to a control system. The control system is configured to create an atmospheric element (202) operative to simulate a physical electromagnetic radiation path modifying device within an atmospheric volume located in said electromagnetic detector signal path (204) by causing electromagnetic radiation from the source to be applied to a selected plurality of three-dimensional portions of said atmospheric volume so as to heat and/or ionise the air within said portions, wherein said selected portions are spatially located together in a substantially unbroken, three-dimensional configuration.

    摘要: An image projection apparatus includes: a projector; a projection control apparatus; and a color tone sensor. The projector projects an image. The projection control apparatus causes the projector to perform a projection on a surface of a target serving as a projection target. The color tone sensor detects a color tone of the surface of the target on which an image is projected. The projection control apparatus adjusts a color tone of an image to be projected on a basis of a detection result of the color tone sensor such that the color tone detected by the color tone sensor has a predetermined value.

    摘要: Digital cloaking is a method for practical cloaking, where space, angle, spectrum and phase are discretized. At the sacrifice of spatial resolution, a good approximation to an ideal cloak can be achieved—a cloak that is omnidirectional, broadband, and operational for the visible spectrum, three-dimensional (3D), and phase-matching for the light field, among other attributes. One example of a digital cloak is an active cloak that uses lenticular lenses, similar to integral imaging for 3D displays. With the continuing improvement in commercial digital technology, the resolution limitations of a digital cloak may be minimized, and a wearable cloak can be implemented.

    摘要: A camouflage pattern includes a plurality of shapes each having one of a plurality of base colors. Each shape has different portions having a different shade of the base color of that shape. An outermost portion extends around the shape and remaining portions are each surrounded by another portion of the portions. The shades of the base color may go from light to dark or from dark to light moving inwardly from the perimeter of the shape.

    摘要: Systems and methods for dynamic camouflaging are disclosed. A computer-implemented method can be used with the system including determining, by a computing device, if current environment image data is available for a location of one or more users, and instructing, by the computing device, at least one image-enabled clothing system of the one or more users to display a camouflage image based on the determining. The camouflage image is based on the current environment image data when the current environment image data is available, and the camouflage image is based on historic image data associated with the location of the one or more users when the current environment image data is not available.
