Thermal Tarpaulin Sheet

[Paul]

In the 80's we experimented with these covers to cut down IR from generators.
THey worked a treat. Took them on exercise and being over flown was ok(ish) sort of.
6/10 times we got 'found'.
Ended up with standard SOP of digging in and using them as top covers. Stopped most detection provided we ran the exhaust through a bucket of water to cool it down.

Problem was the opposition found us every time whether we had the Gen's running or not.
Why?
They had dogs. Dead sneaky that was.
Got to love those noses they have and their excellent hearing.
