Paper Abstract
The objective of a Battlefield Identification Friend/Foe-System (BIFF) is to make targets identifiable to the friend, the objective of camouflage is to make targets less conspicuous to the enemy. In the IR-spectral range these conflicting requirements can be met simultaneously to some extent by using material with variable radiance levels. The presentation addresses: (1) the different requirements posed by camouflage and BIFF, (2) the method of controllable energy radiation, (3) the approach to the solution of the camouflage and BIFF conflict, and (4) the limitation of the approach.
