Multispektral Signaturanpassning Avseende Bandvagn 206 och Stridsbat 90H (Multispectral Signature Reduction Measures Designed to 'Bv 206 All Terrain Carrier' and 'Combat Boat Type 90H').

摘要

FOA/FMV (Sweden) and FFI/HFK (Norway) have completed a collaboration to reduce the tell-tale signatures against detection and tracking of the Bv 206 All terrain carrier and of the Combat boat type 90H. The collaboration has covered camouflage of mentioned type of materiel, which represents a large number of units. The co-operation has concerned on-going and planned development of modern camouflage systems, which form a part of the participant's normal working programs. The signature reduction measures are mostly not built-in, they are add-on. Proposals for built-in measures are given. The camouflage measures recommended are applicable against anticipated sensor threats to the end of this century. The work has concentrated on signature reduction within the visual and thermal infra-red wavelengths. Secondarily, several factors affecting the radar signature have been treated, in particular in regard to SAR (synthetic aperture radar), to degrade or nullify the radar engagement in open environments. Radar reconnaissance however could not be studied, because SAR measurements were not available. The objective has been achieved to obtain cost-effective camouflage systems, which make the objects more difficult to detect and engage by sensors, when tactical use of the surrounding terrain is made.
