Later, this device will be able to protect the tank from heat-seeking rocket attacks that often chase. Research project named Adaptive this will be tested in the next two years.
Military invisibility cloaks are composed of hexagonal-shaped pieces of metal for an adult's palm. These pieces of metal can be heated or cooled quickly to camouflage buildings, ships, or low-flying helicopters. To envelop a small tank, it takes about 1,000 pieces of metal.
The device is equipped with a scanner to "read" the environment. Then scan patterns reproduced on a metal panel in the hexagonal shaped hull tank (or other objects). Furthermore, the infrared image is displayed to allow tanks blend with the surrounding environment and make the enemies see it as a car or even a cow.
According to Peter Sjolund, head of research, this technology works like a thermal screen. Besides bringing a collection of images that have been stored, the device can also take pictures that fit with the surrounding environment if necessary. Further development could be even more sophisticated.
