Speech Title:

Intelligent camouflage Technology in visible / Infrared Band

Abstract: 

With the renewal and improvement of all kinds of space-based and ground-based detection technology and equipment, and the rapid development of space-earth integrated information network technology, missile launch vehicles, armored vehicles, command vehicles and other ground weapons and equipment systems are faced with serious reconnaissance and attack threats in the whole operational process of deployment before the war, entering combat positions, carrying out combat missions, and system withdrawal. Traditional camouflage materials are difficult to meet the cross-regional, all-season and multi-time stealth needs of ground weapon systems. Adaptive camouflage technology is a technology that can quickly change the target color and infrared radiation characteristics in response to environmental changes, thus highly integrated with the optoelectronic features of the background. This report focuses on the principle and research progress of organic electrochromic photothermal control technology, inorganic electrochromic photothermal control technology and VO2 thermochromic photothermal control technology. Combined with different application scenarios, this report describes the role of intelligent photothermal control technology in military camouflage and other national defense fields.
