In this paper the results of development and investigation on textile-based radar absorbing materials for protection against battlefield radar are presented. This research has been carried out within the Project “Adaptive Camouflage for the Soldier” (ACAMSII) which has received funding from the European Union’s Preparatory Action for Defence Research—PADR programme under grant agreement No 800871. To develop the fabrics with microwave shielding and absorbing properties samples of woven fabrics were coated with compositions containing inherently conducting polymers (ICPs), carbon-based formulations or their mixtures. For coating screen printing and knife-over-roll techniques were applied, as our aim was to develop the fabrics coated with conductive layer only on the back side of camouflage pattern printed fabric, that it could be integrated in the military camouflage clothing system. In the radar threat evaluation, as a part of ACAMSII project, it was pointed up that a major threat to dismounted soldiers are battlefield radars commonly operating within X and Ku-bands. Consequently, the investigation of reflection and transmission properties of developed textile fabrics was performed in a frequency range of 6–18 GHz, which cover the defined frequencies relevant to the application. It was found that shielding effectiveness (SE) as well as absorption properties depend not only on the amount and type of conductive paste topped on the fabric, but also resides in the construction parameters of fabrics and their finishing before coating.
