Abstract

A camouflage material having radar screening properties is comprised of a warp-knitted fabric, so-called Raschel fabric, which includes yarn into which metal fibres have been spun. The yarn is laid with a lay-out technique such that the sum of the extensions of the yarn will be generally the same in each direction in the plane of the fabric. The fabric is suitably stabilized with a sheet that lacks metal fibres, which may either be a yarn layer in the warp-knitted fabric or a through-knitted fabric, preferably a nonwoven fabric coated with a reflective metal layer.
