Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of military facilities, in particular to a military camouflage facility with high concealment. Background Art

[0002] At present, traditional military camouflage technology mostly relies on a single means, such as camouflage paint, camouflage nets or static shields. Its limitation is that it is difficult to cope with the rapid development of modern multi-spectrum detection technology. For example, visible light camouflage cannot avoid infrared thermal imaging detection, and radar absorbing materials are ineffective against acoustic or optical detection. In addition, most existing camouflage facilities are static in design and cannot dynamically adjust the concealment characteristics according to environmental changes. In recent years, although some studies have tried to combine smart materials or adaptive systems, most of them have problems such as high cost, slow response speed or insufficient compatibility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated, highly adaptable and cost-controlled camouflage solution. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the problems existing in the technical background, the present invention proposes a military camouflage facility with high concealment, which is particularly suitable for the concealment needs of field troops, military bases, weapons and equipment, and key facilities. The facility significantly improves the concealment effect of military targets through the application of multi-modal camouflage, environmental perception and control systems, and enables it to have excellent anti-detection capabilities under multi-spectrum detection such as visible light, infrared, radar and acoustics. The specific technical solution is as follows: A military camouflage facility with high concealment, comprising a camouflage facility, wherein the surface layer of the camouflage facility adopts a gradient composite structure, and is divided into a dynamic optical camouflage layer, an infrared heat regulation layer, and a radar wave absorption layer from the outside to the inside. The dynamic optical camouflage layer adopts a composite film of an electrochromic polymer and a photochromic dye, and can complete the switching of colors and patterns within 0.3 seconds through pixelation control, accurately matching the optical characteristics of the surrounding environment. The infrared heat regulation layer actively adjusts the surface thermal radiation distribution according to the change of the ambient temperature to achieve thermal fusion with the background environment. The radar wave absorption layer adopts a gradient impedance metamaterial and a honeycomb structure substrate, and achieves excellent radar wave absorption performance in a wide frequency band range of 1-40 GHz, and the reflectivity can be as low as below -20 dB; The camouflage facility includes an intelligent environment perception and control system, which includes a multi-sensor array, an edge computing unit and an actuator. The sensor array includes a high-resolution optical camera, an infrared thermal imager, a millimeter-wave radar and an acoustic detector, which monitors various characteristic parameters of the surrounding environment in real time around the clock. The edge computing unit completes the control from environmental perception to camouflage adjustment.

[0004] Furthermore, the dynamic optical camouflage layer, infrared heat regulation layer, and radar wave absorption layer are seamlessly integrated through nano-level bonding technology, with an overall thickness of 8-10 mm and a surface density of no more than 1-3 kg / m².

[0005] Furthermore, the optical camera in the multi-sensor array adopts a 50-megapixel global shutter CMOS, supports visible light and near-infrared (NIR) band imaging, the infrared thermal imager is an uncooled microbolometer with a resolution of 640×512, and the millimeter-wave radar is a FMCW system with an operating frequency band of 24GHz / 77GHz, which is used to detect the direction of enemy radar illumination. The acoustic detector adopts a MEMS microphone array, which can identify the voiceprint characteristics of drones and vehicle targets.

[0006] Furthermore, the edge computing unit includes an AI chip accelerated by NPU, an image segmentation algorithm (such as U-Net) to extract background texture in real time and generate the optimal camouflage pattern, a thermal radiation simulation algorithm based on a heat transfer model to calculate the driving parameters of TEC, and a threat assessment module to predict enemy detection mode and switch camouflage strategies through multi-sensor data fusion.

[0007] Furthermore, the core processor in the edge computing unit adopts a neural processing unit (NPU) designed for AI computing, and its architecture is deeply optimized for convolutional neural networks. The image segmentation algorithm adopts the U-Net++ architecture, and introduces nested jump connections and deep supervision mechanisms based on the standard U-Net. The encoder part extracts multi-scale features through the ResNet-50 backbone network, and the decoder uses sub-pixel convolution for upsampling to reduce information loss. The thermal radiation simulation is based on the finite element analysis (FEA) framework, coupling the three heat transfer modes of conduction, convection, and radiation. The algorithm uses the Monte Carlo ray tracing method to calculate the surface radiation characteristics, and establishes the energy balance equation through the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The adaptive PID controller is combined for TEC drive parameter optimization, and the drive current is dynamically adjusted through real-time temperature field feedback. The thermal radiation simulation algorithm is based on the finite element analysis (FEA) framework, coupling the three heat transfer modes of conduction, convection, and radiation, and using the Monte Carlo ray tracing method to calculate the surface radiation characteristics. The energy balance equation is established through the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and the drive current is dynamically adjusted through real-time temperature field feedback.

[0008] Furthermore, in the edge computing unit, the entire delay from sensor input to camouflage layer adjustment is completed <0.5 seconds.
