Abstract: The development of thermal infrared camouflage textiles has attracted more attentions because of the rapid development and wide application of the modern thermal infrared detection technology and hyperspectral remote sensing technology. Based on the introduction of the thermal infrared camouflage mechanism, the research and development status of thermal infrared camouflage textiles at home and abroad were reviewed from controlling target infrared temperature and infrared emissivity. Also the development tendency of thermal infrared camouflage textiles was indicated. The development of thermal infrared camouflage textiles should be strengthened and updated from the following several aspects：the ingenious design of fabric structure, the complex application of fabric camouflage pattern design and low emissivity coating, and the multi-functional compatibility.

Key words: thermal infrared camouflage, textiles, development tendency, design
