Visual camouflage with thermal and radar suppression and methods of making the same
First Claim
1. A site specific visual camouflage system that provides at least one of thermal or radar suppression, the system comprising:
- a vinyl layer having a camouflage pattern on a front surface of the vinyl layer, the camouflage pattern comprising a site-specific camouflage pattern;
a laminate layer secured over the front surface of the vinyl layer coating the camouflage pattern to provide protection to the camouflage pattern and strengthen the vinyl layer; and
one or more nanomaterials disposed on at least one of the vinyl layer, camouflage pattern, or the laminate layer to provide at least one of thermal or radar suppression.

Abstract
A visual camouflage system that provides at least one of thermal or radar suppression is described. The system includes a vinyl layer having a camouflage pattern on a front surface of the vinyl layer. The camouflage pattern includes a site-specific camouflage pattern. A laminate layer is secured over the front surface of the vinyl layer coating the camouflage pattern to provide protection to the camouflage pattern and strengthen the vinyl layer. One or more nanomaterials are disposed on at least one of the vinyl layer, camouflage pattern, or the laminate to provide at least one of thermal or radar suppression.
