The panes (1) of a naval vessel or military vehicle are often coated with
a radar-reflecting layer (20) for reduction of the radar signature of the
vessel/vehicle. At the same time this layer increases an enemy's
possibility of recognizing the vessel in passive IR reconnaissance since
the layer increases the reflectance also for IR radiation to a
considerable extent. As a result, the intensity of IR radiation that an
enemy receives from the panes is much lower than that from the rest of
the vessel, which with signal processing can be used to increase the
possibility of recognizing the vessel. According to the invention, it is
suggested that the panes (1) on the outer face (8) also have a second
layer (21, 22) to increase emittance especially within the IR range 2-20
.mu.m which is normally used for reconnaissance and the like. This second
layer (21, 22) comprises especially two coatings, one of which is active
in the IR range 3-5 .mu.m and the second in the IR range 7-14 .mu.m. The
first coating (21) is suggested to comprise tin dioxide and the second
coating (22) oxidized silicon nitride.
