[…] number of ADF platforms, was formulated and tested against two topcoat specifications, MIL-PRF-85285E and DEF(AUST) 9001A. Introduction Camouflage is the method of using a natural or artificial material on personnel, platforms, or tactical positions with the aim of confusing, misleading, or evading an enemy.1 It is an essential attribute for any modern military platform, which, together with operational tactics, greatly improves the survivability and operational capability of the platform and personnel involved. Selected visual camouflage colors from the Aerospace Material Specification Standard 595A series (AMSS),2 used for Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft and Australian Army (Army) vehicles, or the Australian Standard (AS)3 series, some of which are used for Royal Australian Navy (RAN) vessels, are listed in Table 1. Visual camouflage coatings, apart from providing protection from corrosion and weathering, can also be formulated to provide camouflage in other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) outside the range detectable by the human eye (having an operating range of 0.38–0.78 mm), such as the infrared (IR). Since the 1990s, research at the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group on the IR properties of military topcoats has focused on the near IR (NIR) for purposes of reflecting incoming solar radiation to reduce heating of military equipment4 and active night vision goggle camouflage.5 More recently, work has been completed in formulating coatings that assist with camouflage in other parts of the IR spectrum. This article presents results of the work undertaken to test the performance of ambient cure low-emissivity (LE) versions of the camouflage colors listed in Table 1 designed for operational performance for temperatures ≤ 250°C. LE coatings for high-temperature (> 250°C) applications rely on a different technology that will not be covered in this article. […]
