A window in an asset having an active adaptive stealth system including a plurality of stealth plates whose temperature can be controlled to control an IR signature of the plates, the window including a window pane pivotally mounted in a wall of the asset adjacent the stealth plates, a motor drivingly coupled to the window pane, and a tilt mechanism coupled to the motor and arranged to position the window pane such that the IR signature of the stealth plates approximates an IR signature of the window pane.

A garment assembly such as a uniform, a military uniform and a military combat uniform is presented. The garment assembly includes a helmet or head cover being cut from a fabric having a first camouflage pattern with a first set of intermixed colored blotches thereon. The colors of the first set of intermixed colored blotches being selected from a first group of colors including an Olive 527 color, a Dark Green 528 color, a Tan 525 color, a Brown 529 color, a Bark Brown 561 color and a Dark Cream 559 color. The uniform also includes a coat being configured to fit at least a portion of a human torso and a trouser configured to fit at least a portion of human legs, the coat and trouser each being cut from a fabric having a second camouflage pattern with a second set of intermixed colored blotches thereon, the colors of the second set of intermixed colored blotches being selected from a second group of colors comprising an Olive 527 color, a Dark Green 528 color, a Light Sage 560 color, a Tan 525 color, a Brown 529 color, a Bark Brown 561 color and a Dark Cream 559 color.

Apparatus and methods for reducing injury or damage from an explosive device are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a housing and at least one inflator coupled to the housing. The apparatus also includes a shield coupled to the housing. The shield has a plurality of channels coupled to the at least one inflator. The shield also has a compact position and an expanded position. The plurality of channels are configured to receive a fluid from the at least one inflator and thereby at least partially advance the shield from the compact position to the expanded position.

Systems and methods for scattering or deviating a laser beam are provided. A system utilizing a lenticular sheet and a laser source projecting a laser beam onto the lenticular sheet produces shapes such as laser cones. Minor adjustments of the laser source with respect to the lenticular sheet may vary the size and shape of the laser cone that provides for improved Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems. A diffraction grating added in the path of the laser beam causes a laser pattern of a matrix of lines to be produced which also provides for improved. Interference between multiple lenticular sheets may be used to deviate a laser beam to protect military assets from laser-guided projectiles and/or laser acquisition.

An optical system providing a “living camo”, a color and form changing camouflage achieved from a substantially planar transparent base film substrate having a first side and a second side, with the first side having an optical surface composed of an array of optical micro-lenses, and with the second side having a colorized camouflage pattern, such that the lens array on the first side interacts with the colorized camouflage pattern on the second side to exhibit a color and or form change when viewed from the first side at differing angles, and a method of manufacture same.

The present disclosure provides an optical invisible device. The optical invisible device sequentially comprises along an incident direction of an optical path: a first microlens array for imaging, an imaging unit, a display screen, and a second microlens array for projecting content displayed by the display screen to the outside, and further comprises an image processing unit. In addition, there is further provided another optical invisible device, which comprises: a first microlens array for imaging, a first imaging unit, a first image processing unit, a first display screen, and a second microlens array that are located at a first side, and a third microlens array, a second imaging unit, a second image processing unit, a second display screen, and a fourth microlens array that are located at a second side.

The layered graphic decal arrow consists of an arrow base, decal, and a finishing layer. Two separate curing processes are used to create the arrow to prevent adhesive from penetrating the decal thereby degrading the visual appeal of the arrow. The decal is applied to the arrow base, or printed on the arrow base, then flashed at a first temperature then cured at a second temperature. After cooling the arrow, a finishing layer is applied to the arrow. A uniform pressure is applied around the finishing layer to hold it in place while curing. After curing, the uniform pressure is removed, the arrow is polished to remove undesired markings and the arrow is cut to the desired length. In an alternative embodiment, the finish layer is a polymer coating applied to the arrow without the need for uniform pressure.

A radiation suppression film includes a porous body containing a material transparent to a long wavelength infrared ray as a base material.
