What is the function of camouflage net ?

Camouflage net is the use of camouflage by an armed force to protect personnel and equipment from observation by enemy forces. In practice, this means applying color and materials to military equipment of all kinds, including vehicles, ships, aircraft, gun positions and battledress, either to conceal it from observation , or to make it appear as something else.

How to make camouflage net ?

Camo nets can be effective at defeating visual observation. Traditional camouflage nets use a textile ‘garnish’ to generate an apparent texture with a depth of shadow created beneath it, and the effect can be reinforced with pieces of vegetation.  Modern nets tend to be made of a continuous woven material, which is easier to deploy over a vehicle and lack the “windows” between patches of garnish of traditional nets. Some nets can remain in place while vehicles move.  Simple nets are less effective in defeating radar and thermal sensors. Heavier, more durable “mobile camouflage systems”, essentially conformal duvets with thermal and radar properties, provide a degree of concealment without the delay caused by having to spread nets around a vehicle.
