They have been talking about it for a long time, this is the first open demonstration of the proof of concept, as they make cam patterns for clothing
it's pretty clear where they went from here.
This is one of the features of the hyper stealth technology. When they said it can be used for discrete wavelength sensing when pointed skyward. Then
I extrapolated that bit of data and thought about sensing satellites deploying this with sophisticated multispectral LIDAR systems. It is flexible so
it should be spacecraft deployable for lots of applications.
