Abstract
A camouflage device for camouflaging specularly reflecting surfaces of an object is formed with function elements for influencing the reflection of radiation from an assumed radiation source. Each function element forms a part of an outer layer and has a pair of individual surfaces on its side facing the radiation source. The individual surfaces extend longitudinally side-by-side, and their surfaces are arranged at an angle to one another. The camouflaging device is arrangeable on the object by means of a mechanism such that it is disposed in front of the reflecting surface; and the angular arrangement of the respectively assigned individual surfaces extends such that the surface normal of a first individual surface is sloped downward, and the surface normal of a second individual surface points more steeply than 80° to the horizontal plane, and their surface courses form an angle of <90° with respect to one another.
