Intermat
is widely known for its prolific involvement in the field of thermal
signature management and multi-spectral stealth materials. The term
“stealth” is primarily associated with changes in the reflective
properties of the target. It is usually understood to result from a
combination of materials and methods that significantly lower the emissions
of a target, thereby effectively decreasing the enemy’s detection
range.
Intermat’s prime concern is to reduce signatures, emissions, and
eventually detection ranges. However, just reducing an emission is not
enough, the real science is to customize and adjust the level of performance
in order to meet the operational requirements (blend in with surrounding
/background environment).
The objective of Intermat is to:
• Conceal against thermal observation
• Deceive heat-seeking IR sensors
• Attenuate radar signals and reducing RCS

Intermat
is a group of companies headquartered in Athens – Greece. Pioneer
in Stealth Technology Coatings and materials for Military applications
that have been developed after more than 20 years of R&D. We specialize
in the research, development, and production of Anti-thermal/IR and
Radar absorbing coatings.
Production is carried out by one of our companies under the highest
standards, in compliance with the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance provisions.
We are proud to conform with NATO STANAG 4319 “Counter Surveillance
Requirements for Future Main Battle Tanks Infrared / Thermal Aspects”.
The aim of this agreement is to standardize a specification which limits
the thermal /IR signature for passive counter surveillance, camouflage,
and concealment of all Future Main Battle Tanks. This agreement also
gives design guidelines that can be used to enable the limits to be
achieved in a practical manner. |

Thermal
signature management - "Chameleon Series" coatings |
Intermat’s
core business is the research and development of anti-thermal
coatings. Intermat has the technical capability and know-how
to produce military colour shades of adjustable emissivity.
All it takes is painting with just a thin film layer by using
ordinary equipment and tools. The coatings limit the absorption
and emission of heat and the user is free to decide on the amount
of “insulation” or performance, whether operations
take place in desert, forest, or any other terrain. Light blue
and light grey colours of exceptional performance are available
for the navy and helicopters; these assets operate against a
very cold thermal background i.e. sea, sky, and thermal protection
is vital for their survivability. Application can be made on
any surface i.e. metallic or building. It is a permanent countermeasure. |

Anti-thermal
/ anti-radar camouflage nets |
Intermat
can provide a wide range of camouflage nets, covers and blankets,
and tents and personal camouflage.
Camouflage nets can attenuate radar signals from 5 to 100
GHz and especially from 8 to 40GHz. The level of attenuation
in each band is confidential but it can be said that the level
of attenuation varies from 10Db minimum up to 35Db. On top
of that all fabrics are treated or painted with the anti-thermal
coatings and literally any camouflage pattern can be designed.
Fabrics do not need to be kept away from any hot surface;
they do not get hot when placed directly on top of a warm
surface. They weigh as little as 200gsm and can be engineered
to meet end-user specifications, such as weight, design, pattern
and performance. |

Sniper
and Ghillie suits |
Special
forces operatives deserve their own thermal countermeasure;
consequently Intermat suits are treated with the anti-thermal
coatings. The soldiers are protected throughout the wide IR
spectrum, and the detection of a soldier is very much reduced
(depending on the environmental conditions). The fabric is
breathable with reduced stiffness while various types and
camouflage patterns can be produced. Fabric weight can be
as light as 60gsm and can be as effective as other much heavier
systems since the amount of “insulation” is not
achieved through thick and heavy materials |

RCS
reduction coatings |
Intermat
has achieved to develop RCS reduction coatings where RCS can
be reduced by 97% (attenuation in X-band); this means than
the radar detection range can be more than halved. They are
compatible with the anti-thermal coatings and both formulas
can be combined into one which will perform both as an anti-thermal
and RCS reduction coating. |

Anti-Missile
Protection Shield |
The
complexity of the thermal signature of fixed assets is lower
in comparison to that of mobile assets. Fixed assets blend more
easily with the environment and they appear as land or elements
of nature; by properly applying our coatings results can really
be spectacular.
Coatings can be applied almost anywhere such as buildings, depots,
hangars, airfield taxiways and corridors, fixed anti-aircraft
systems, air condition units, and on surfaces such as concrete
/cement, plaster, bricks, and asphalt (alkaline surfaces). Passive
Homing Missiles (e.g. cruise missiles with heat seeking warhead)
rely on there being strong contrast changes to track, and anti-thermal
coatings can render them unable to "lock on". Please

Shield technology. |
