US12649867 - Camouflage tape, and camouflage tape system for temporary multispectral camouflage of objects
The patent describes a multispectral camouflage tape designed for temporary camouflage of objects, including weapons and military equipment, featuring a combination of a textile and thermal-radiation reflecting material for effective concealment in both visual and thermal infrared wavelengths. The tape is constructed to adhere securely to surfaces without leaving residue or causing damage, and includes a colored coating that enhances its camouflage properties in specific thermal ranges.
Claim 1
1 . A multispectral camouflage tape for temporary multispectral camouflage of objects, such as weapons, military vehicles or other military equipment, comprising: a camouflage material layer having at an outward-facing side configured to provide camouflage properties at least in the visual (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength regions, the camouflage material layer comprising at least a textile and a thermal-radiation reflecting material configured to reflect radiation in the thermal wavelength region, a tape layer comprising a tape substrate having an inward-facing side coated with an inner adhesive layer, and a releasable liner layer releasably adhered to the inward-facing side of the tape substrate through the inner adhesive layer, wherein an inward-facing side of the camouflage material layer is adhered to an outward-facing side of the tape substrate such that the camouflage material layer and the tape layer form a multispectral camouflage tape configured to be removably adhered to and detached from an object without substantial residue or damage, and wherein the camouflage material layer comprises a coloured coating on an outward-facing side of the camouflage material layer, the coloured coating constituting an outer exposed layer of the camouflage tape and the coating having a high transmissivity in at least the thermal wavelength regions of 3-5 μm and 8-14 μm. a camouflage material layer having at an outward-facing side configured to provide camouflage properties at least in the visual (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) wavelength regions, the camouflage material layer comprising at least a textile and a thermal-radiation reflecting material configured to reflect radiation in the thermal wavelength region, a tape layer comprising a tape substrate having an inward-facing side coated with an inner adhesive layer, and a releasable liner layer releasably adhered to the inward-facing side of the tape substrate through the inner adhesive layer, wherein an inward-facing side of the camouflage material layer is adhered to an outward-facing side of the tape substrate such that the camouflage material layer and the tape layer form a multispectral camouflage tape configured to be removably adhered to and detached from an object without substantial residue or damage, and wherein the camouflage material layer comprises a coloured coating on an outward-facing side of the camouflage material layer, the coloured coating constituting an outer exposed layer of the camouflage tape and the coating having a high transmissivity in at least the thermal wavelength regions of 3-5 μm and 8-14 μm.
