BAE Systems Global Combat Systems has tested an ‘invisibility cloak’ solution in a CV90120T tracked armoured combat vehicle.
Known as “Adaptiv”, the patented technology is based on sheets of hexagonal ‘pixels’ that can change temperature very rapidly. On-board cameras pick up the background scenery and display that infra-red image on the vehicle, allowing even a moving tank to match its surroundings. Alternatively, it can mimic another vehicle or display identification tags, reducing the risk of fratricide.
Trials held in mid-July showed that one side of a CV90120T vehicle could be made effectively invisible or appear to be other objects, including a 4×4 vehicle, when viewed in the infra-red spectrum.
