They turn invisible to infra red only

I bet theyre close to full cloaking if already not achieved. Cool video though.

they dont i think they reflect the back ground onto the tank and it perfectly blends in. it uses projectors

Yes it makes you wonder what technology they have kept in secret i doubt they reveal all to the world.this was probably just a project they revealed that was cheap and they claim costs billions to cover some other top secret project they are developing.and this is on sale to other country's already

so its cutting edge technology stolen from

Bee hives?..

Quite good tech but probably my least favorite of all when it comes to stealth tech.

lol looks like it.nature inspires quite a lot inventions though.

Speaking of invisibility, is this video legit?

reply to post by Hydroman


Possibly i think there is suits that was developed that bends reflective light that interferes with cameras

It seems to me that it doesn't cover the top? what about airborne observers and people at a higher elevation? they would still be able to see the heat signature. And Javelins in flight could see it as well.

It's so insane that it can disguise itself as something else, though.

This is fasicnating tech and a number of threads were run here on it a couple months ago. This is one of 3 systems I've seen demonstrated to the public which I feel play into those noises in the sky we're all hearing but no one ever SEES the source of.

Even fully matured, this technology alone doesn't do the trick....but you could't effectively cloak a ship without it, either. Infra-red would HAVE to be accounted for in making a stealth craft of any kind...and this looks like as good a solution as any to deal with that end of the spectrum. Now how old is the prototype technology and how long has a production version existed?

Oh.. er.. wait.. they JUST invented this huh?? JUST now figured out how to do it...eh? Yeah.... I'm sure BAE Systems is in that habit. Sharing the bleeding edge stealth capabilities with the world press... lol... So if they're showing it in Demo vids for customers, I'd say it's OLD tech in those places where the future is yesterday for systems actually being tested. Oh what I wouldn't give for ONE DAY in the modern version of Area 51... either one of them.

I think development was started in 2007 and tanks would be fitted with it by 2012 according to a simmilar youtube video

they probably can fit all over a tank or ship.there is probably secrets they wanted to keep so they just show a very basic example of it.
