The infrared detection technology has been widely explored in military domain for signature acquisition and search and tracking of targets. Thermal signatures of any targetare fingerprints for detection by Thermal Imaging System (TIS). Armoured vehicles and equipments are very prone for detection by adversary's TIS. Multi-layered Textile Structures (MTS) have been designed and developed by efficient insulating materials for thermal signature suppression of ground based targets in 8-12 mu m. These structures were evaluated by FLIR TIS in 7.7-11.5 mu m at temperatures 50, 100, 150 degrees C and stand-off distances 8, 16, 24 mm from hot plate. The maximum thermal suppression efficiency of MTS04 and MTS06 are 91.25% and 96.25% respectively. The MTS04 is suitable for thermal suppression of targets upto100 degrees C and MTS06 is more effectiveupto150 degrees C. Spatial configuration of MTS04 and MTS06 as per thermal zones of the target can be arranged for design and development of effective thermal camouflage system for static and dynamic objects.
