A counter measure apparatus and method for modifying a path of an electromagnetic detector signal (204) so as to prevent incidence thereof on a platform (200), the apparatus comprising an electromagnetic radiation source, communicably coupled to a control system. The control system is configured to create an atmospheric element (202) operative to simulate a physical electromagnetic radiation path modifying device within an atmospheric volume located in said electromagnetic detector signal path (204) by causing electromagnetic radiation from the source to be applied to a selected plurality of three-dimensional portions of said atmospheric volume so as to heat and/or ionise the air within said portions, wherein said selected portions are spatially located together in a substantially unbroken, three-dimensional configuration.

Systems according to the present disclosure provide one or more surfaces that function as power radiating surfaces for which at least a portion of the radiating surface includes or is composed of fractal cells placed sufficiently closed close together to one another so that a surface wave causes near replication of current present in one fractal cell in an adjacent fractal cell. The fractal cells may lie on a flat or curved sheet or layer and be composed in layers for wide bandwidth or multibandwidth transmission. The area of a surface and its number of fractals determines the gain relative to a single fractal cell. The boundary edges of the surface may be terminated resistively so as to not degrade the cell performance at the edges. Fractal plasmonic surface cards are described.

An image projection apparatus includes: a projector; a projection control apparatus; and a color tone sensor. The projector projects an image. The projection control apparatus causes the projector to perform a projection on a surface of a target serving as a projection target. The color tone sensor detects a color tone of the surface of the target on which an image is projected. The projection control apparatus adjusts a color tone of an image to be projected on a basis of a detection result of the color tone sensor such that the color tone detected by the color tone sensor has a predetermined value.

Systems and methods for modifying an infrared signature of a vehicle are provided. A method may include producing an aerosol cloud proximate the vehicle. The method may further include determining one or more characteristics of the aerosol cloud. The method may also include determining a projection plane within the aerosol cloud based on the aerosol cloud characteristics for projecting a representation of the object. The method may additionally include providing heat at particles in the projection plane of the aerosol cloud to generate the object representation.

A metalized textile containing a textile, a first metalized layer at least partially covering a first side of the textile, and a second metalized layer at least partially covering the first metalized layer. The first metalized layer contains a metal and the second metalized layer contains a plurality of metallic particles, binder, and a pigment. The present invention is primarily directed towards metalized textiles for use in multispectral camouflage products.
