Zusammenfassung:	Thermal suppressors and techniques for the use thereof are utilized to reduce the thermal signature of an object having a temperature greater than its environment. Multi-layers of low emissivity materials separated by air spaces are used to minimize heat transfer by radiation. This design, coupled with a technique for inducing air flow through the spaces between the various layers for cooling the outer surface of the suppressor, effectively reduces the temperature of and thus the thermal signature of the object. Air entrainment means attached to the object may be used in conjunction with the multi-layered suppressor to further aid in collecting, funneling and expelling heat emanating therefrom. Means for dissipating solar energy are also incorporated into the suppressor.
