Abstract :
One of methods of disguise and protection of plants of military equipment samples against reconnaissance and defeat means at visible, infrared and millimeter wave bands is using of camouflage coatings (CC), that make difficult optical visualization of objects and reduce natural radiation at this bands, that finally should preclude creation of the integral images of objects. The aim of the given article is the estimation of an observability degree, decrease of military equipment samples that are provided with camouflage coating CGS "Contrast". The radiometric observability estimation is carried out on the basis of image analysis of objects on a surface background that are obtained experimentally with the help of the MMW passive radiometric sensor.
