PROTECTIVE MASKING SYSTEM

FIELD: electronic countermeasures and protection against high-energy actions. SUBSTANCE: invention may be specifically used in the capacity of protective masking system for such important objects as radars and multipurpose weapon systems, for masking and protection of military objects from observation , identification and lock-on on targets (for automatic tracking), for protection of air and ground transportation facilities, military aircraft, tanks, installations and buildings of military assignment against high-energy lasers and nuclear weapon. Protective masking system has assemblage of geometrically formed hollow metal cells having common base, heat protective metal reflecting surfaces covered with polymer layer and target. Cells are manufactured in the form of structure with side heat protective reflecting surfaces forming cavities of peaked shape directed towards base. Polymer layer is made transparent. In this case base contacts target. Polymer layer may contain masking pigment. At least one side surface of part of peaked structures may be mounted at angle to base which differs from inclination angle of side surfaces of the rest of structure. At least part of peaked structures may be fabricated in the form of pyramids with even number of faces, the rest has odd number of faces. Peaked structures may have height of side faces or size of generating lines of side surface from 2.0-1150.0 μm. Plates between cells may have reflecting surfaces covered with polymer film carrying carbon black. Polymer film may be covered by layer absorbing waves of radio frequency range and polymer layer with masking pigment applied in succession. EFFECT: enhanced stability of system when protecting and masking against active and passive radar systems and its increased aerodynamic properties with simplification of design. Изобретение относится к средствам радиоэлектронной борьбы и защиты от высокоэнергетических воздействий и может быть использовано в качестве защитной маркирующей системы для важных объектов от радиолокационных станций и многоцелевых систем вооружения, в частности для маскировки и защиты военных объектов от наблюдения, систем опознания и захвата цели (на автоматическое сопровождение), а также от высокоэнергетического разрушительного воздействия многоцелевых систем вооружения, включая высокоэнергетические лазеры и ядерное оружие, например наземных и воздушных транспортных средств, военных самолетов, танков, установок и строений военного назначения.
