In Britain, created a virtual camouflage for military vehicles. Using it, you can do the technique, such as tanks, virtually invisible in any terrain. Development deals with the biggest defensive concern of the country.
Called “electronic ink” camouflage is a nanofilm similar to that used now in the Tablet PC for playback on-screen text and images. She applied a thin layer on the surface of the armor and other equipment.
Although the technology is kept secret, it became known that camouflage can buy different colors and contours of the terrain. This is achieved by using external cameras that are constantly sent to the computer information about the external environment. The computer analyzes it, automatically selects the most appropriate for given conditions of colors and geometric design and project them onto the surface. As a result, the tank becomes nearly invisible on the ground.
It is expected that the first tank with a virtual camouflage received by the British Army in 2015, the same experimental machine will go off the assembly line in 2013. The invention will help the crews of combat vehicles to operate in different localities. For example, in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, British troops fighting vehicles disguised as a barren landscape, but this does not help camouflage them among the bushes and trees, which are often hidden by the Taliban.
