Abstract

With the increasing threat of attacks and reconnaissance on surface targets, in addition to radar and infrared measures, visible light camouflage measures for surface targets are receiving more and more attention. Camouflage measures such as camouflage color have been widely used in small surface targets in recent years. However, since the meteorological conditions on the sea are different from those on the land and in the sky, how to determine the design distance of visible light camouflage on surface targets through scientific analysis still needs to be solved. To this end, this paper establishes a calculation method of visible light transmittance on the sea through Modtran, combined with human visual characteristics and Johnson’s criteria, to calculate the camouflage standard design distance of different target sizes under different contrasts on the sea, and solve the problem of camouflage design distance selection under human eye observation conditions.
