AIR DEFENCE ASSETS CAMOUFLAGE SETS Mission Ca mouflage sets are designed to co nc e al air defence assets and installations from reco nnais s a nce carried out with: • optical devices - against ve getative (MKT-2L, MKT-3L), desert/steppe (MKT-2P) and snowy ( M KT-2C) backgrounds; • optical and radar systems (MKT-3LR); • optical, thermal and radar assets (light-weight radio-dispersing camouflaging sets: VolchitsaKR-L and Volchitsa-KR-LG – against summer vegetative, Volchitsa-KR-P – desert/steppe and Volchitsa-KR-C – snowy backgrounds).
Composition Typical ca mouflage sets consist of 6-12 standard 3x6m sheets joined with quickly undone seams made of stitched cor ds. Standard sheets comprise a kapron netlike base with 50x50mm mesh size, backline d with a 3-5mm diameter kapron cord along the perimeter. The net base holds differe nt ite m s interw eaved in accordance with distortionpainting pattern: • MKT-2L (P,C,3L) 50x220mm strips/festoons made from dyed in mass and matted pol yethylene film;
conducting, dyed in mass and matted pol yethylene film; • Volchitsa-KR 50x220mm strips or festoons from metallize d two-si de painted pol yethylene terephtalate film. The a bo ve sets pro vi de the following advantages: • resistance to water (moisture), fuel/lubricant (petrol, diesel fuel, oil) and deterge nt effects; • operabilit y in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +50°C; • self-extinguishing cover material (without residual smouldering); • adaptability to camouflaging structures of different size and configuration; • availability of spare part kits for in-field repairs; • convenient deliver pac ka ges (in covered rolls with spare parts and documentation).
• MKT-3LR festoons made from two- side
