Official ADAPTIV teaser video, BAE Systems

The official ADAPTIV teaser video, produced by Nils Bjuggstam (Loveframe AB, www.loveframe.se.) for BAE Systems.

State-of-the-art technology
Unlike traditional camouflage systems which rely on paint or nets to hide vehicles, ADAPTIV can instantly blend a vehicle into its background. The system can also be used on ships and fixed installations, allowing them to stay undetected by enemy surveillance units.

With the ADAPTIV system installed, a unit has:
The ability to blend into natural surroundings
The ability to mimic natural objects and other vehicles
A significantly reduced detection range
IFF capability

Blend into the background
ADAPTIV works by using lightweight hexagonal pixels which are electrically powered by the vehicles systems. The pixels are individually heated and cooled using commercially available semi-conducting technology. The hand-sized pixels are made of metal, so that they can sustain physical impact and provide defence against enemy ordnance. The entire system has been designed with ease of use in mind, and the pixels are able to be easily and rapidly removed and replaced if damaged.

Once mounted on a vehicles hull or ballistic armour plates, ADAPTIV renders a vehicle invisible to infra-red and other surveillance technology.

Whether it is day or night, whether they are on the move or stationary, ADAPTIV gives your vehicles increased stealth - and greater survivability.

is BAE and BEA the same company

BAE is a British Defence company funded by the ministry of defence.

Invisible soldiers that look like heat fumes coming off the ground from 20 feet away.. Don't think I haven't seen you..... I know what you can do.... Shattering door like glass. Selling antivirus spyware that assists in hacking and records... energy is energy. It's not just light you can bend is it.. Your walking through walls makes a good blackmail list doesn't it.. I know. Just becacuse I didn't have a clearance doesn't mean shit. Files get opened and morons talk on smoke decks.. I know

@sbarmyman They didn't.

You just know the Chinese have already bought BAE systems.....

Peltier cooling plates with a thermistor for temperature feedback, computer controlled with thermal cameras to capture the surroundings and blend the 360 environment to attempt to make the vehicle with the thermal camo applique blend in. Novel idea.

@WRHappened As I understood it the cells don't use LEDs to emit the IR pattern, they generate an actual constant heat pattern.

I'm not sure how feasible this is, and the website I got the info from could damn well be wrong.

I wonder if dirt or rain will affect it's performance. Maybe bring a maid along to keep it tidy.

[MrSzalasiFerenc]

I just switch over my infra to  thermal and smoke that toy out.

I see an exhaust port flash out at the back of this vehicle. I simply aim my rockets' algorithms programming a bit ahead if it. Simple as the smack in the face. Energy-exensive help as a pain in the ass...
