【 摘 要 】

Red phosphorus-based camouflage compositions are often used on naval ships to counter anti-ship missiles. This work focused on investigating the obscurant and infrared radiation characteristics of infrared-screening smoke of pyrotechnic compositions based on red phosphorus, Mg-Al alloy, barium nitrate and Viton A rubber. The results demonstrated that the smoke clouds of the formulation based on red phosphorus and Mg-Al alloy have a high attenuation capability to 1.064 µm laser radiation. Besides, these smokescreens also have a better emission power in the wavelength range of 2.5-5 and 8-14 µm. Therefore, the smoke compositions based on red phosphorus and Mg-Al alloy can be used in camouflage devices on naval ships against infrared and laser-guided missiles.
