Can I hide from a Thermal Sensor?

When we think about Ghillie Suits, we often think about the best possible camouflage solution to wear on the body. This might be true for the naked eye as well as for night vision devices, that work with near infrared. But thermal imaging devices are now more common than ever before.
Camouflage companies made "super secret" thermal camouflage suits. And some people know, that they often do not make you invisible to the thermal sensor. And also with thermal camouflage it is about all aspects of camouflage.
But now lets try to hide from this Pulsar Axion 2 XG35 device. This is an affordable handhelt device, that is sold to hunters. I will use my not specially modified ghillie suit. In this video I will also spray it with water and add natural vegetation.
Please also keep in mind, that this video is not a representation for all thermal devices and all camouflage suits. There are differences and some may will work better or worse.

With the same thermal device i found that on sunny days even in early spring, where sunshine hits it will heat up things so it shines like a body. So if you have a thermal yourself, find a spot where sunlight is hitting, maybe next to some hot rocks, and you can blend into that. Worst place to hide is in a shaded and cool place.

[@johnmoe2806]

We experimented with this back in the mid nineties when I served on a battle tank with thermal imaging. I have also since been a sniper for around 13 years where I got to be at the "receiving" end making us focus a lot on camouflage techniques. When mobile the best tips I can give is to hide behind ridges, down in small valleys and just put a big amount of rock and or vegetation between you as a hot source and the observer making you 100% invisible. When stationary the same applies but usually you are supposed to observe the enemy and therefor must come to a position where you can see something. The trick is to have a cold front, at the same temperatures as the environment, towards the enemy observing with thermal imaging. The shield in form of tarp or whatever must not be heated up from one side. This will otherwise be visible. One option can be to have to shield layers with fresh air with correct temperature circulating between the two layers. Recommend anyone wanting to stay hidden from someone with thermal capabilities to train with such tools to really understand how it works and how to prevent being observed.

[@GTRNights]

100% correct. In the type of scenario he's showing, you could be a sniper or FO, but generally if you're out by yourself, this is an E&E situation and there's no way they should be that close to you. Initial movement should put miles between you and the trackers, and to then continue evading requires use of the densest foliage possible and terrain as you said. Thermal has also changed the game, whereas it used to be best to sleep and do maintenance things during the day, and then move at night... now it's flipped. You want to move during the day and find the best possible cover at night to try to stay hidden. Especially against a professional force which will likely have airborne thermal looking down, so hard overhead cover is a must.

[@mark7362]

@@GTRNightsvery good to know, thank you, I'm thinking an umbrella with a heat blanket wrapped on the top would be ideal, with also maybe individual strands of heat blanket hanging from the edges of the umbrella. I wonder if a (very)leafy suit made out of heat blanket wrap would work.

[@mark7362]

I've always wondered if you can spot humans with IR if they're hiding beside a rock or in a rock crevice (depending on the time of day)

[@johnmoe2806]

@@mark7362 It all depends on the temperature surface in the 2D plane you watch through the sensor. If the rock surface has the same temperature as the fabric used by the human it's harder to spot then if the temperature on the two surfaces are different. The bigger difference the easier to spot. You can easily spot temp differences on a naked person. All extremities is normally colder then the human core but the temp diff is not that big. Back in the days serving on Leopard 1 we used to switch between thermal and daysight when spotting and thus get the best from two worlds. What you think you see with one of the two is usually confirmed or disproved with the other. Daytime sensors require you to use all camouflage principals in the book like color, contrast, light, shadow, shine, silhouette, movement, etc. For thermal sensors the mentioned camouflage principals is less important but now you must blend in based on surface temperature. Try to avoid movement in areas where thermal sensors observe the area. When stationary you would have a layer in front of you observation post to hide from thermal capacity and you must add good camouflage in front of that to avoid getting spotted by daytime sensors like binoculars, spotting scope, etc. The best is to be behind natural cover and just have a tiny hole to see through. The insertion should happen behind cover 100% when "close" to enemy position. The enemy observation capacity and their sensors defines what close means.

In Ukraine I came up with the idea of keeping my helmet off at night to help mask thermal signature. Thought process, I would notice people in my sister lpop at night having on hot ass helmets when poking heads up for peak with nvgs or thermal(Helmets after being worn for about 5-20 minutes become very hot from trapped heat permeating through the shell). We would peak just to eye level every 3-10 minutes for a scan and then back down. So I would only put on my helmet for my very breif scan of my surroundings and then go back down and take it off to keep it at the natural outdoor temperature. Also good scrim can add texture to the helmet for both nods and thermals and that can help imo especially with a still cold helmet

A technique for hiding on the forest floor that would likely reduce your thermal signature, too, is to burrow under the forest litter and use it as a cover on top of you. If you use a waterproof, army bivy bag, the type that pulls up over your waist you can tie it off around you, then make a hole in the forest litter with a knife or your digging tool, push under the litter and then create another hole at the end, essentially you end up under the forest litter with it on top of your body, the bivy bag making sure that the bottom half of your body stays dry, the bag should prevent some heat escaping too. If the litter above you is thick enough it should do a good job of hiding your thermal signature too, the exit hole you create can be pulled down to hide your head and pushed up and held in position by sticks to allow you to poke your weapon muzzle out of the end, this is only useful for a static OP though, useful if you want to sleep too, if done in long grass it's very difficult to spot you, unless someone actually steps on you.

Ah what the heck, there's also Negative Refractive Index Metamaterial Clothing which can ABSORB tri-band infrared (Long, medium and short IR waveforms) and WRAP them completely around your body from every direction and out onto the other opposite side COMPLETELY HIDING your heat signature! --- This ALSO WORKS for RGB optical wavelengths, SONAR, LIDAR and even RF/MM-wavelengths hiding from OTHER sensor types!

[@StarGateSG7]

@@Neithan007 A negative refractive index metamaterial can be an internally reflective nanotube of the diameter of the optical, IR or RADAR waveform you are trying to hide from and those nanotubes INGEST the waveforms and reflect internally like a fibre-optic cable out to the OPPOSITE SIDE of the ingest point thus making you practically invisible. It can also be an ABSORBENT material similar to fur or fibre-glass insulation which TRAPS any waveforms from get BACK OUT and creating a detectable signal return. Metamaterial can be ANY material that has the desired property to ABSORB and/or TRAP and/or REDIRECT the incoming waveforms of concern be they IR, SONAR, RADAR, RGB OPTICAL or RF/MM-waves! The ACTIVE tiles are more for thermal signature (IR) where you are EMULATING something else like the outline of an innocuous-looking animal or car or house while you are actually a armed and ready tank, soldier or weapons placement.

The following is in regards to an airsoft video I watched a while back: A team used a clear sheet of glass between the heat source (their airsoft sniper) and the thermal device for effective results in a static position. Many towns have a business that will sell these glass panels intended for use on desks. Imagine a glass topped sofa table or dining room table with camo netting draped over it.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

To look while concealed you need a periscope, a camera/screen combination, a fiberoptic solution or something similar. It's very obvious though that several things make a difference, which means to achieve a camouflage suit that works at least to SOME degree against thermal sensors is just a matter of engineering, design and effort. A reflective "blanket" that is also camouflaged normally. With grips that allows holding it, and preferably also mounting it to the ground, without touching it in such a way that you transfer any real amount of heat to it. A double or even multilayer camo suit, with narrow stripes of insulating material keeping them separated by a layer of air. A better/more thorough "screen" of plant material, or better yet, make something that mimics the same effect as part of the camo suit. And you're probably going to need a facemask of some sort to have any real chance of concealing the face. However, there, breathing obviously becomes an instant issue, so, might need something closer to the plant material effect, ie, covering up without actually closing up around your head in any way. An adapted reflective blanket, easily doable. The layered camo suit, considerably more difficult to achieve, but probably still doable, though might be pricey and probably a bit inconvenient to wear. Artificial screening material that can added to the suit, at distance, this might work entirely alone, but at the same time, also the most difficult thing to design. Also, there's a distinct risk here that all of the above might end up making you a very blatant object for any sort of radarbased sensor. Still, clearly, it is possible to achieve functional camo against IR.

The thermal signature of the mylar could only be practically reduced by maintaining distance from it. A hasty application of this idea might be to somehow utilize some small branches/limbs to provide structural support for the mylar while maintaining distance from body contact. With luck, air currents will dissipate the heat that is escaping around the perimeter of the mylar, so it doesn't significantly heat up _other_ material.

It's interesting how you chose black plastic since I'd always heard that it was basically transparent in thermal imaging, whereas glass looks completely opaque, so it's like the two are switched when you go to thermal imaging from visible light imaging. So I think that means that glass could actually be pretty useful for camouflage. Visually it doesn't obscure anything as long as you make sure there's no glare. I think as long as there's no direct contact it shouldn't heat up all that much either. I just got a thermal camera so I'll have to experiment with this.

Hmm maybe you can try fishnet under layer?

It keeps you both (a little) cooler in summer and (a lot) warmer in winter due to the air pockets in the mesh preventing heat transfer by touching layers. On it's own a fishnet base layer won't help.

[@KirenKK-te7pb]

Easily . Simplest is to create a deceptive source tactfully in area of operations.

[@RodCornholio]

Great, evidence-based, content.

[@jnharton]

The alternative to hiding would probably be some sort of thermal flare or devices with a long lasting heat source.

[@casyleer144]

Pepakura suit with Thermal paint. Gillie suit on top.😎

[@ebrah9891]

What cammies did you use for your ghillie? is that green moss camo? Looks like gorka. I'm curious, tho cuz it looks bad ass

[@tropixMw2]

Atacs fg Leo Köhler smock

[@MrTryAnotherOne]

Looks like A-TACS FG

[@user-vv4lu9jb1j]

Just seen another channel where everyone was blown away when they copied Arnold's mud trick... totally works. They tested it with multiple sensors.

[@aweird1]

Thermal blankets block the sensors from being able to see you. Also, thermal sensors do not tell you how hot an image is, it shows how well something transmits heat, which is called emessivity.

[@G0TT3RFUNK3N]

Try glass based or ceramic based camoflage. It reflects Infrared

[@jonathansimmons5353]

When the white lines are painted on the road they throw down glass bead powder so it reflects better and gives grip. Dirt cheap when dusted over spray on glue.

[@KoljaMineralka]

You can use glass to hide...like bulletproof glass with a handle similar to what SWAT uses when storm buildings...

[@LucaAugment]

high drag

[@joesmith9330]

I READ A BOOK ON INFRA RED SENSORS !! YOU CAN BLOCK YOUR BODY HEAT COMPLETLY SIMPLY BY HOLDING A THERMAL BLANKET IN FRONT OF YOU !! HELPS TO HAVE SOME CLOTHES PINS SO YOUR HANDS DONT HEATUP AND SHOW THRU !! SO IN THE BUSH IF YOU TYE ON SOME GRASS AND BRANCHES TO THE BLANKET AND SOME CAMO DONT MOVE AROUND MUCH U WONT SHOW UP AS A HEAT SOURCE !!

[@hawaiiangunner]

What's going to eventually happen is that everyone is going to have nods. Every year the price for night vision and thermal keeps going lower and lower and the products keep getting better and better. Once everybody has this it will be irrelevant. Everyone will be able to see everyone. Everything will end up being a stagnant sniper war like the Balkans.

[@photomatt01]

or a drone war

[@LucaAugment]

thermal optic cloaking is a thing gary busi battled predator 2 with such things i have em for sell its not complicated a poncho that squirts cooled water on u when the outside temp of textile is higher than surroundings is simple Simon shit and yea thermal for ur smart phone is 399

[@samrogerskeeponkeepingon1486]

Thermal blankets work really well you know the shiny silver ones that come in first aid kits

[@EteonEteon-fs1iz]

Good video -- love the slow motion rewind 👍!

[@MishaAmashukeli]

What happens if there is a gap between a blanket and the body? Imagine a large cape worn over a very wide-brimmed hat, so it has minimal contact with the body, could it work?

[@TanelSan]

If you bring Chuck Norris with you ten Thermal sensor hides from you

[@z33thr33]

......Mylar space blanket.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

A wool sweater holds in 80% of the heat. You would be surprised at how well wool works with thermal. Every hunt coyote in a sheep pasture with thermal? Usually only sheep heads and legs glow. Unless young lambs.

[@aaronsterlind6334]

Yup, summer seems like the best time for ............ when it's 40 degrees celsius or higher. Of course one could just light up the entire area if need be, hide in a multiple of heat signatures, make lots and lots of heat signatures. When there is a will, there is a way.

[@turbot8er672]

Do you think a fiberglass welding blanket would be more effective? Seems to me that fiberglass would be the best material for shielding, but you could also spray paint and add foliage, and maybe have a space blanket underneath.

[@nicosgeo]

Green vegetation is not a heat insulator but an excellent infrared reflector. If you consider this you can cover better.

[@Jude13able]

Glass hides you from thermal cameras

[@peterjennett9124]

Excellent info. Thank You.❤️☕🤔

[@quidvultus]

If one thermal blanket works fairly well, imagine how much more effective TWO thermal blankets would be.

[@davidjames1063]

Thermal CAN be defeated. I just won't say how.😅

[@WillieMakeit]

If you suspect thermals turn on the lights as bright as you can make it

[@ripperkon]

It needs to be a hot light to do some distraction 😅

[@juantovar4861]

Thanks for the video

[@tunakann7629]

The cardboard box reins supreme yet again

[@Hipporider]

Ever tried using the aluminium foil that's installed in the walls of houses as a poncho? Glue camouflage onto the aluminium foil on the outside?

[@ronaldlongfellow87]

Someone give this man a $ .50 cent emergency blanket 😉 and yell take 2 !

[@The_Black_Knight]

Interesting video. However, if an operator wears a thermal reflective suit w/mask + Ghillie regardless of natural vegetation, most signature is removed and only detectable at very close range unless in extreme temperature environments. A person can go "low tech" by sewing in an emergency reflective blanket into a outdoor tarp covered with vegetation or commercial camouflage on the cheap. Test with thermal scope. You will be surprised at the results. Be mindful of head. Useful against certain predators, but an individual must neutralize human scent.

[@squetch8057]

seems like you need a ghillie umbrella sort of thing that hangs on a pack away from your body

[@richardloo1523]

One can run, but one can not hide from gen 3 thermal imaging devices.

[@eimerhegel427]

If you can't, every single sniper would have been dead right now, but they're not as a simple thermal coat is enough to cover themself from thermal drone.

[@DonaldSanders-hb2qg]

YES, THERMAL CAN'T SEE THROUGH GLASS.

[@io_metre]

Interesting. Thank you 👍🏻

[@NBC_NCO]

In reality it depends on if its a human on foot. A ground vehicle or airborne. Depending on your cover and concealment. Vehicles and aircraft will pass you over at a high rate of speed making detection less effective.

[@CarlosSilva-bl1cp]

Yes you can! I saw the Predator" movie... 😂😂

[@GalloPazzesco]

Excellent video! Thank you.

[@chrisbrent7487]

Not in the desert at night. Most deserts get very cold at night, particularly in winter when it can be over 30 degrees in the day and minus 0 over night. Cold enough that I’ve had soapy dish water freeze solid.

[@Index-o1234]

Great info to learn from.👍🏻

[@lil----lil]

Fugitive: I'm safe now...I'm in the woods and they can't see me. Helicopter: Turns on the Thermal camera.

[@DeadMan-by3xm]

With the right cover you’d be alright

[@gerddensing8051]

Cool. Great stuff. Very interesting.😊

[@vincentlussier8264]

I could have been walking in the woods right by the guy and I never would have seen him!

[@berserkasaurusrex4233]

Attaching a few fist-sized blocks of styrofoam (1" or 2" thick) to the inside of the suit will hold the fabric up off the body. Even if just one or two pieces over the upper back area, they would keep the fabric from warming up as much and give a more mottled appearance on the thermals across your back. And all without adding weight to the suit itself. Plus you'd get some extra air movement between you and the fabric, which would be nice in the summer heat. Won't make you invisible, but should make it harder to identify you as a human body lying on the ground, which is the whole point really. Best of luck to you. I'd like to see a second video like this, but with you lying on the ground for a few hours and then testing how well the thermal cameras can see you. Give time for your body heat to heat the ground below you and dissipate through the fabric more.

[@jacqueskisling8241]

If there is a lot of rocks 🪨 in the area heating up in the sun 🌞 it be a nightmare to try and detect you . I do heaps of pest control with thermal. And as soon as you hit a area with rocks. I changed to night vision. And yes I run two $8k thermal units. One from pulsar and one from Infiray

[@BaroudeurAventure]

That would have been interesting to test thermal clothes and thermal blanket.

[@arnsnicklefritz9634]

The zombies could sneak up easier.
