Abstract

Verfahren zur Tarnung eines militärischen Ziels mit einer Zieloberfläche (1) vor einem externen Sensor (3) durch Verwendung zumindest einer Lichtquelle mit einem Positionieren externer Lichtquellen (2) derart, daß die Zieloberfläche (1) beleuchtet wird, mit einer Einkopplung von Licht in eine auf der Zieloberfläche (1) angeordneten Oberflächenschicht (5) aus lichtleitendem Material zur Leitung des Lichts, mit einer Auskopplung auf der Außenseite (6) der Oberflächenschicht (5) und mit einer Einstellung der Helligkeit der Lichtquelle (2) aufgrund eines Vergleichs zwischen der gemessenen Strahldichte des Hintergrundes des Ziels, die in der zu erwartenden Blickrichtung der externen Sensoren (3) auftritt, wobei die vom Ziel ausgehende Strahldichte eingestellt wird, sowie Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.

Figure 00000001
Method for camouflaging a military target with a target surface (1) in front of an external sensor (3) by using at least one light source with positioning external light sources (2) in such a way that the target surface (1) is illuminated with a coupling of light into a on the target surface (1) arranged surface layer (5) made of light-conducting material for guiding the light, with a coupling on the outside (6) of the surface layer (5) and with an adjustment of the brightness of the light source (2) based on a comparison between the measured Radiance of the background of the target, which occurs in the expected direction of view of the external sensors (3), the radiance emanating from the target being set, and device for carrying out the method.
