THE NEW SMART ELEMENTS OF MILITARY CAMOUFLAGE DESIGN IN VIS AND NIR SPECTRUM

Current camouflage design follows two different trends: one trend is towards “universal” designs which perform well in a wide range of environments and another is towards more specialized designs and patterns with definite requirements for colour characteristics. In this paper, two experimental parts are presented: experimental camouflage pattern designing and camouflage uniforms design with smart element - installed specifically engineered infrared message which is seen isolated at 1000 nm. In first part two original designs were created using stylized shapes of animals that are symbols of natural heritage of Republic Croatia, composed with other macro and micro elements of design into a pattern with concealing ability. In the second part of the experimental work the camouflage uniform design with installed specifically engineered infrared message is presented.
