Abstract
The chapter presents a concept of utilization of active thermal camouflage combined with friend or foe recognition system. The main purpose of the system is automatization of decision-making, whether utilization of thermal camouflage is ought to be used. Moreover, the described system should react properly, when an enemy is detected. Implementation of mentioned purposes. As a way of accomplishing of the described functionalities, an active thermal camouflage, combined with vision system, which is able to distinguish, whether an observed object is friend or foe, is proposed. Furthermore, an example application of the system, supported by a net of sensors and decision-making model, was described. For testing purposes, the system was simplified by utilization of a single camera and an adaptive thermo camouflage module. The obtained results confirmed that such a solution is possible to be implemented in the future.
