Abstract
Bionic adaptive camouflage material is a new artificial functional material, whose surface color can change adaptively according to the optical environments. Therefore, how to reduce the visual detectability of this material becomes a research hotspot of digital camouflage stealth technology. In order to clarify the limitations and opportunities of the bionic adaptive camouflage materials in the field of visual stealth, we summarize the applications of current adaptive camouflage materials and carry out a prospect of next-generation photonic crystal infrared camouflage material in this review. It is expected to provide a solution for the demand of digital camouflage adaptive materials in the modern battle field.
Highlights
In modern high-tech wars, military operation usually encounters quick mobility with various theater of war, frequent transformation of battlefields and different environmental backgrounds
There is a thin film on the surface of the chameleon tank, which can change the appearance characteristics of the tank according to the color of the surrounding environment, adjust the temperature of the tank in time, and make it difficult for the enemy to detect the trajectory of the tank by thermal radiation
The application of biomimetic adaptive color-changing materials in stealth technology is summarized in this article
