Abstract :
Two kinds of sensors will be highlighted (and shortly explained whenever necessary): 1. 3-D lidars (or laser radars) 2. Hyperspectral Sensors (HS). Using results recorded during the NATO field trials SCI-145, it will be shown that both previous sensors a) can remove camouflage means (i.e., decamouflaging effect) b) and are able to discriminate between fake targets (i.e., decoys) and real targets. As a conclusion, they are able to defeat most CCD (Camouflage, Concealment & Deception) measures.
