Definitions
- the invention relates to a camouflage device and a camouflage method for objects with at least one expandable form element for changing the object-typical signature.
- an interference target for stationary and moving devices which consists of an inflatable, air mattress-like hollow body.
- this disruptive target is intended to distract sensor-controlled ammunition from the actual target with the aid of an intensive signature. Therefore, the target must always be at a safe distance from the object.
- camouflage technique reduces the signature of an object to such an extent or adapts it to the environment that the opposing reconnaissance means should no longer recognize the object.
- the sensors common today which often also work multispectral, that is to say in different frequency bands, are so sensitive to the smallest differences in measured variables that the conventional type of camouflage becomes increasingly difficult or can no longer be solved with reasonable effort.
- the present invention has set itself the task of taking a different way of preventing the recognizability of objects.
- the obfuscation of the nature or the object of the object should take place. This means that the visibility of the object is consciously accepted.
- the opposing reconnaissance should see a different type of object, which is not worth fighting against. So includes For example, a missile position always certain devices such as radars, launchers and command vehicles, the installation, number and signature is known. However, if typical devices are missing when observing the position, the function of the unit can no longer be determined with sufficient accuracy.
- the particular advantage of the device and the method according to the invention is that the properties and the task of the camouflaged object are obscured to an observer. As a result, the decision to fight is made too late or not at all, which ultimately means an increase in the survival probability of none of the object or of the entire unit.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a two-part tracked vehicle which transports a tactical radar device.
- the vehicle belongs to an anti-aircraft battery.
- the chain drives 6 of the towing vehicle and the trailer represent significant components.
- To camouflage rollable or buttonable aprons 3 are provided, the surface of which is designed so that the observer in the visible and in the infrared frequency range recognizes truck wheels instead of the chain drives. This is achieved in that materials with different colors, emissivity and reflectivity have been applied to the aprons 3 in a known manner. The aprons are removed or rolled up for driving.
- Another problem area that requires camouflage are characteristic parts 4 of the body, the loading areas or spaces and the chassis. To the extent that this makes sense for obfuscation, these are sometimes left undetected.
- shaped elements 2 and surface elements 3 or combinations of both elements 2, 3 are used.
- the towing vehicle and the trailer are fused into one unit with the aid of a shaped element 2, which is unfolded in the space between the vehicles.
- Further molded parts 7 are arranged on both sides of the radar device 5.
- the overall impression is that of a truck, the loading area of which is covered by a tarpaulin.
- a flexible, inflatable molded part 8 in the form of a hood is used as the camouflage means for the radar system 5.
- a hood is described in the earlier application P 43 30 224.
- the corresponding use of known materials for the surface of the hood 8 creates the impression of a tree crown.
- the use of shaped elements and surface elements according to the invention simulates the observer that a supply vehicle 1b stands in front of a tree Characteristic of the actual object 1a is obscured. This contributes to increasing the likelihood of survival.
- the camouflage system described thus consists of a number of printed elements or surface elements (tamper-evident aprons) 3 which cover the conspicuous and significant areas of the object 1a and at the same time show the characteristics of another object 1b, which is less tactically important, and a number of flexible form elements 2, which change the outer shape and the contours of the object 1a to be camouflaged in such a way that the shape and contours of the less important object 1b are approximated.
- This arrangement and the camouflage process carried out with it offer the advantage of high tactical effectiveness with a minimum of material and camouflage work in use.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tarneinrichtung und ein Tarnverfahren für Objekte mit Wenigstens einem entfaltbaren Formelement zur Veränderung der objekttypischen Signatur.The invention relates to a camouflage device and a camouflage method for objects with at least one expandable form element for changing the object-typical signature.
Aus der DE 33 12 169 A1 ist ein Störziel für stehende und fahrende Geräte bekanntgeworden, das aus einem aufblasbaren, luftmatrazenähnlichen Hohlkörper besteht. Dieses Störziel soll mittels seiner Anordnung neben, über oder hinter dem Objekt sensorgesteuerte Munition mit Hilfe einer intensiven Signatur vom eigentlichen Ziel ablenken. Deshalb muß das Störziel immer einen Sicherheitsabstand vom Objekt aufweisen.From DE 33 12 169 A1, an interference target for stationary and moving devices has become known, which consists of an inflatable, air mattress-like hollow body. By means of its arrangement next to, above or behind the object, this disruptive target is intended to distract sensor-controlled ammunition from the actual target with the aid of an intensive signature. Therefore, the target must always be at a safe distance from the object.
Die klassische Tarntechnik reduziert die Signatur eines Objektes soweit oder paßt sie der Umgebung an, daß die gegnerischen Aufklärungsmittel das Objekt nicht mehr erkennen sollen. Die heute üblichen Sensoren, die häufig auch multispektral, also in verschiedenen Frequenzbändern arbeiten, sind jedoch so empfindlich hinsichtlich geringster Differenzen von Meßgrößen, daß die herkömmliche Art der Tarnung zunehmend schwieriger wird oder mit vertretbarem Aufwand nicht mehr lösbar ist.The classic camouflage technique reduces the signature of an object to such an extent or adapts it to the environment that the opposing reconnaissance means should no longer recognize the object. The sensors common today, which often also work multispectral, that is to say in different frequency bands, are so sensitive to the smallest differences in measured variables that the conventional type of camouflage becomes increasingly difficult or can no longer be solved with reasonable effort.
Aus diesem Grund hat es sich die vorliegende Erfindung zur Aufgabe gestellt, einen anderen Weg der Verhinderung der Erkennbarkeit von Objekten einzuschlagen. Anstelle der Verringerung und Anpassung der Objektsignatur soll die Verschleierung der Natur oder der Aufgabe des Objektes treten. Dies bedeutet, daß die Sichtbarkeit des Objektes bewußt in Kauf genommen wird. Die gegnerische Aufklärung soll jedoch ein andersartiges Objekt sehen, dessen Bekämpfung sich nicht lohnt. So umfaßt beispielsweise eine Raketenstellung immer bestimmte Geräte wie Radare, Werfer und Führungsfahrzeuge, deren Aufstellung, Anzahl und Signatur bekannt ist. Fehlen jedoch bei der Beobachtung der Stellung typische Geräte, so kann die Funktion der Einheit nicht mehr ausreichend genau bestimmt werden.For this reason, the present invention has set itself the task of taking a different way of preventing the recognizability of objects. Instead of reducing and adapting the object signature, the obfuscation of the nature or the object of the object should take place. This means that the visibility of the object is consciously accepted. However, the opposing reconnaissance should see a different type of object, which is not worth fighting against. So includes For example, a missile position always certain devices such as radars, launchers and command vehicles, the installation, number and signature is known. However, if typical devices are missing when observing the position, the function of the unit can no longer be determined with sufficient accuracy.
Die Aufgabenstellung wird durch die in den kennzeichnenden Teilen der Ansprüche 1 und 9 genannten Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen wiedergegeben.The task is solved by the features mentioned in the characterizing parts of claims 1 and 9. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the subclaims.
Der besondere Vorteil der Einrichtung und des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung liegt darin, daß einem Beobachter die Eigenschaften und die Aufgabe des getarnten Objektes verschleiert werden. Dadurch wird die Entscheidung zur Bekämpfung zu spät oder gar nicht getroffen, was letztlich eine Erhöhung der Überlebenswahrscheinlichkein des Objekts oder der gesamten Einheit bedeutet.The particular advantage of the device and the method according to the invention is that the properties and the task of the camouflaged object are obscured to an observer. As a result, the decision to fight is made too late or not at all, which ultimately means an increase in the survival probability of none of the object or of the entire unit.

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein zweiteiliges Kettenfahrzeug, welches ein taktisches Radargerät transportiert. Das Fahrzeug gehört zu einer Flugabwehrbatterie. Um den gewünschten Tarneffekt zu erhalten, muß nicht nur das Strahlungsverhalten des Objektes 1a sondern auch seine äußere Form scheinbar verändert werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind beim Anwendungsbeispiel verschiedene Maßnahmen erforderlich. Die Kettenlaufwerke 6 des Zugfahrzeugs und des Anhängers stellen signifikante Komponenten dar. Zur Tarnung sind ausrollbare oder anknöpfbare Schürzen 3 vorgesehen, deren Oberfläche so gestaltet ist, daß der Beobachter im sichtbaren und im infraroten Frequenzbereich Lastwagenräder anstelle der Kettenlaufwerke erkennt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß aufdie Schürzen 3 in bekannter Weise Materialien mit unterschiedlicher Farbgebung, sowie Emissions- und Reflexionsfähigkeit appliziert wurden. Für den Fahrbetrieb werden die Schürzen abgenommen oder aufgerollt.The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a two-part tracked vehicle which transports a tactical radar device. The vehicle belongs to an anti-aircraft battery. In order to obtain the desired camouflage effect, not only the radiation behavior of the object 1a, but also its external shape, must apparently be changed. For this purpose, various measures are required in the application example. The chain drives 6 of the towing vehicle and the trailer represent significant components. To camouflage rollable or
Ein weiterer Problembereich, der der Tarnung bedarf, sind charakteristische Teile 4 der Karosserie, der Ladeflächen bzw. -räume und des Fahrwerkes. Diese werden, soweit es für die Verschleierung sinnvoll ist, teilweise ungetarnt gelassen. Für die zu verändernden Teile 4 werden Formelemente 2 und Flächenelemente 3 oder Kombinationen aus beiden Elementen 2, 3 eingesetzt. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel in Figur 2 werden der Zugwagen und der Anhänger mit Hilfe eines Formelementes 2, welches im Zwischenraum zwischen den Fahrzeugen entfaltet wird, zu einer Einheit verschmolzen. Auf beiden Seiten des Radargerätes 5 sind weitere Formteile 7 angeordnet. Insgesamt entsteht der Eindruck eines Lastkraftwagens, dessen Ladefläche mit einer Plane überdeckt ist. Werden an den Seitenflächen der Plane Flächenelemente 3 eingesetzt, deren Erscheinungsbild und Verhalten einer natürlichen Plane gleicht, so gibt die Tarnung sogar das Flattern der Plane im Wind realistisch wieder.Another problem area that requires camouflage are
Für die Radaranlage 5 wird als Tarnmittel ein flexibles, aufblasbares Formteil 8 in der Gestalt einer Haube verwendet. Eine derartige Haube ist in der älteren Anmeldung P 43 30 224 beschrieben. Durch die entsprechende Verwendung bekannter Materialien für die Oberfläche der Haube 8 entsteht der Eindruck einer Baumkrone. Somit wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung von Formelementen und Flächenelementen dem Beobachter vorgetäuscht, daß ein Versorgungsfahrzeug 1b vor einem Baum stünde, die Charakteristik des tatsächlichen Objektes 1a wird verschleiert. Dies trägt zur Erhöhung der Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit bei.A flexible, inflatable molded
Das beschriebene Tarnsystem besteht also aus einer Anzahl von bedruckten oder mit geeigneten Materialien applizierten Flächenelementen (Tamschürzen) 3, die die auffälligen und signifikanten Bereiche des Objektes 1a verdecken und gleichzeitig die Merkmale eines anderen, taktisch weniger wichtigen Objekts 1 b zeigen, sowie einer Anzahl von flexiblen Formelementen 2, welche die äußere Form und die Konturen des zu tarnenden Objekts 1a gezielt so verändern, daß die Form und die Konturen des weniger wichtigen Objekts 1b angenähert werden. Diese Anordnung und das damit durchgeführte Tarnverfahren bieten den Vorteil hoher taktischer Wirksamkeit bei einem gleichzeitigen Minimum an Materialaufwand und Tarnarbeit im Einsatzfall.The camouflage system described thus consists of a number of printed elements or surface elements (tamper-evident aprons) 3 which cover the conspicuous and significant areas of the object 1a and at the same time show the characteristics of another object 1b, which is less tactically important, and a number of
