The super-flexible screen makes the new type of active camouflage possible.
The image above this text tells what the camouflage of the next generation might look like. Have you seen the film "Predator"? In that film, the alien monster uses active camouflage, which makes that thing transparent. Modern technology with miniaturized cameras and ultra-flexible screens are making the new type of camouflage possible.
The new active camouflages are acting like chameleons, which are making persons merge with the background. If there is a cooling system in that camouflage, that will make it possible that a person is invisible also for infrared. The masks that are covering the faces of those people are also using active camouflage, which makes the operators hard to detect.
And that makes the new type of protective overalls what are making people invisible for other people possible to make. The aircraft might use similar technology, but making the textiles which are acting like a chameleon is more difficult because the textiles require more flexible screens than aircraft. This kind of chameleon suit can use in many kinds of situations. The name of this system is CAMELEON.
Like slipping into area and sniping missions. There is the possibility that there are more futuristic camouflages under development. Those systems use nanotechnology for making the layers that are 3-dimensional and emulate things like sand better than just screen. That three-dimensional layer what is like a physical hologram can use for making the person invisible. And that thing will work in every kind of landscape.
The flexible active camouflage robes are used in Libya and conflicts after that. They are making the new type of protection for vehicles and snipers as well as the pilots, who are shot down and need protection against the enemy troops until a rescue crew is coming to take them in safe.
