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 covers at least a portion of the surfaces of the plurality of yarns of the textile, where the first metalized layer contains a metal. The second metalized layer is adjacent to the first metalized layer at least partially covering the first metalized layer and contains a plurality of metallic particles, binder, and a pigment. The second metalized layer comprises a pattern of at least 2 colors, where at least one of the colors contains a plurality of metallic particles and a pigment. At least two colors have a difference in reflectivity of at least 20% in each of the following regions: 1 μm, 2 μm, average over 3-5 μm, and average over 8-12 μm.

A camouflage object including a body having an area and a camouflage pattern placed in the area. The camouflage pattern is formed by at least two first bands extending in the same first running direction across the area and having a first length, where the at least two first bands include a first perceptible characteristic and at least one second band extending in a second running direction across the area and having a second length, where the at least one second band includes a second perceptible characteristic. The at least one second band at least partially overlaps the at least two first bands. A plurality of zones is formed by the intersection of the at least two first bands and the at least one second band and have a pattern formed by the combination of the first perceptible characteristic and the second perceptible characteristic.

A camouflage cover that is simple to deploy and store and is robust to all weather conditions and storage cycles provides a close visual match and close visible and IR spectral signature matches to surrounding vegetation. The cover incorporates a mixture of SAP and cellulose pulp containing approximately 90% water laminated between opaque, non-woven Tencel™ layers to emulate the spectral signature of leaves. Outer polymer film layers prevent water evaporation of the SAP. Organic dye-printed patterns can be applied to one or more of the Tencel™ and film layers. The SAP mixture can be limited to leaf regions of the cover, whereby branch regions include cellulose but not SAP. The cover can be petalized by cuts made, for example, along leaf and branch region boundaries. A gloss-controlling aerogel coating can be applied to outer surfaces of the camouflage cover to match a gloss of the vegetation.

An electromagnetic camouflage shield comprises a flexible conductive layer and a textile layer. The shield includes at least one outward facing fibrous face, and is creped with at least 5% increased elongation to enhance its flexibility and effective EM thickness. The conductive layer can be the textile layer, or a separate layer. In embodiments, the conductive layer is one of a woven that incorporates metallic yarns, a textile having an electroless plated metal coating, a metal mesh, a thin layer of foil, and an elastomeric layer having a conductive and/or ferrite filler. The textile layer can be a woven or non-woven. Embodiments are fashioned into shirts, pants, and/or other clothing, and can provide drape and moisture vapor transport for enhanced comfort.
