The design of military uniforms with infrared protection

Jana Žiljak Vujić

Infraredesign is based on the idea of designing two images in the same place. One picture is visible in daylight and the other is visible with the help of an infrared camera. In case of "camouflage clothing" it is quite the opposite. Military clothes must not be visible in daylight or at night. They should not be detectable for our eyes or infrared cameras. A fully different IRD method has been developed named InfraRedMilitary for masking clothes based on merging two procedures - IRD and IRM. The necessity was met to have special information provided by text, image or bar-code on military garment hidden inner spots. Clothes have been produced using original secured materials with secured dyes. The IRM method has been extended to leather clothing, shoes, belts, special bags. Several new design elements have been incorporated into the helmets that provide hidden information for the visible specter part, and clearly recognizable with an IR camera.

Dizajn vojne uniforme s Infrared zaštitom

Jana Žiljak Vujić

Infraredesign je zasnovan na ideji da su na istom mjestu dizajniraju dvije slike. Jedna vidljiva u dnevnom svjetlu a druga vidljiva s infracrvenom kamerom. Potpuno je suprotno u “maskirnoj odječi”. Vojna odjeća ne smije biti vidljiva niti danju niti noću. Ne bi smjela biti prepoznatljiva niti za naše oči, niti za infracrvene kamere. Rzvijena je suprotna IRD metoda, nazvana InfraRedMilitary za maskirnu odjeću s proširenjem spajanja dvije procedure IRD i IRM. Potreba za posebno informiranje s tekstom, slikom ili barkodom na sakrivenim, unutarnjim mjestima vojne odjeće. Izvedena je opdjeća na orginalnom zaštićenom materijalu sa zaštićenim bojilima. Proširenje IRM metode je na kožnu odjeću, cipele, remenje, specijalne taške. Na zaštitne kacige je postavljeno nakoliko novih dizajnerski rješenja koja pružaju sakrivene informacije za vidljivi dio spektra a jasno prepoznatljive za IR kamera.
