In modern warfare, with the rapid development of infrared detection and guidance technologies poses an increasing challenge to the survivability of weapons and equipment. How to improve the infrared stealth capability of weapons and equipment has become an urgent problem to be solved, and infrared stealth materials are the key to improve the infrared stealth ability of weapon equipment. The paper briefly analyzes the cloaking mechanism of infrared cloaking materials, summarizesthe research status of thestealth materials in recent years, such as infrared low-emissivity materials, temperature control materials, photonic crystals, intelligent stealth materials, and infrared low-emissivity nanomaterials, and forecasts the future development trend of infrared stealthmaterials.
