A camouflage covering having a porous underlayer such as a knit mesh of 90% open area, and a plurality of dangling elements each having a base portion that is joined to and extends essentially transversely out from the porous underlayer. The dangling elements are arranged so as to essentially cover the porous underlayer so as to present a covering that has depth and provides a loft effect. The dangling elements are preferably strips having a low emissivity (0.02-0.50) inner layer and an external coating, which is thermally transparent but supports pigments that provide a visual and near infrared radiation signature suppression effect.

Infrared camouflage covering

A partially translucent mural decoy containing selective translucent panels representing horizontal and other areas of the simulated target that appear brighter than surrounding areas of the target under certain conditions. When frontlit, these translucent panels present the same relative brightness as the surrounding opaque areas of the target. When backlit, these translucent panels appear brighter than the surrounding opaque areas of the target simulation, and this brighter aspect increases as the sun approaches the horizon. Thus the presentation of horizontal and similar areas of the simulated target when the target is backlit is simulated.
