An easily handled, lightweight, three-dimensional camouflage material relying on an outer fabric layer and an inner fabric layer separated by an intermediate pile for effective multi-spectral, electromagnetic detection suppression in the visual, near infrared, thermal infrared, microwave, and radar wavebands is provided herein.

Three-dimensional, knitted, multi-spectral electro-magnetic detection resistant, camouflaging textile

A light emission system that comprises a light source that comprises at least one light emitting diode (LED) that provides ultraviolet light. The system also comprises a controller that controls the intensity of the ultraviolet light provided by the light source such that the ultraviolet light provided by the light source simulates a vehicle exhaust plume.

Systems and methods for simulating a vehicle exhaust plume

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.
