BAE Systems in Sweden is working on a new type of camouflage for tanks. Basically cameras mounted on the side of the tank take a picture of the tanks surroundings. Those pictures are then projected via LED's contained in the tanks armor.

Its still in the works - but the hope it is will eventually let tank look just like a clump of bushes or other parts of the terrain.

Of course, that's just the tip of the iceberg. They are also working on ways to hide the heat signature and more.

Chameleon tanks blend into background

A pair of "bug-eyed" compound video cameras on each side capture the tank's surroundings. Each one contains nine small cameras, giving a wide field of vision. The images from these cameras are then fed to displays built into the outer surface of the armour on the tank's opposite side. The displays use arrays of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) to project the image onto a screen contained within the armour, much like a rear-projection TV, says Awad. The screen will be built in to a layer of a transparent composite armour on the tank's side.
