The war in Ukraine has shown that neither darkness or concealment hides troops from optics on drones and sniper rifles. Two companies look to change the game.

@@jimketchum3169 yes, it's a basic principle of thermodynamics in physics. Energy(heat in this case) cannot be created or destroyed(randomly appear or disappear) it can only change form. The heat under the "cloak" eventually warms up the cloak. The solution would be to change the heat into another form of invisible energy before it heats up or leaks out of the cloak. So far, no one has been able to do that in these applications(harder than it sounds). Most concepts focus on heat dispersion to tackle this issue. If it's less concentrated, it's not as easy to pick up on thermals, though that only helps so much. It's more effective than a poncho, but not a ton. It's like normal camo, just because you have it on, doesn't make you instantly and permanently invisible while you're wearing it, but it helps some.

I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam 1969. We had rain ponchos that were rubber. In my experience they were useless except for providing a tent-like shelter but there were very few times where those were tactically reasonable. The ponchos were too cumbersome to where in combat because they restricted movement in firefights and they were useless in the monsoon season when it rained every day for weeks at a time. Additionally, ponchos were too hot to wear in the heat. in Vietnam we didn't wear skivvies or socks nor did we often wear anything under our flak jacket than nothing or an undershirt. Great Idea and one that needs to develop to the point where normal comfortable wear in extreme heat and bitter cold will help the user to operate effectively. Controlled tests in the US are important, but I've never operated in my 3 years of combat in moderate US test environments. My combat environments have always been fairly extreme. I attended the Army's Artic Warfare Course at Ft Greely, AK. So how does this cloaking device work when covering a person with a temp of 98 degrees with a cloaking cover when the temp is -70 degrees? I like the concept, but I'd like to see what it looks like in combat conditions rather than test conditions. What does it look like in the IR spectrum when a tank has been moving and firing in combat all day? Does it prevent the heat signature inside the cover from being observed? Fire 200 rounds or more of MG fire and see if the MG team is still cloaked. People / developers who have never been in combat in extreme environments will never understand the problems for both men/women and sensors. Ah then there is the night vision devices that don't care about IR signatures. All modern detection platforms have visual, IR, and night vision devices. What then?

just for concealing movement thermal optics is every wear now once your sighted lose the gear. Drone videos from Ukraine show Russian solders utilizing it. Modern problems modern solutions. I have a similar product but it has exhaust fans for heat build up and tent poles that collapse to keep it off your body. Owning the night was null with low cost optics these materials offer a counter watching someone think they are sneaking around wile being observed with thermal optics puts things in perspective, US army tents are currently maid with this material to mitigate observation from thermal imagery in orbit.

Every attempt to concealment from thermal will have heat transferred to it if it gets in contact with heat source after some time. The only way to rely on this is if you wear this over you and it seems to not get any heat on for over 2 minutes. If somehow, it does get warm, then it's no better than a blanket.

This. No wearable system can work for long. Thermal is a problem because it's heat. You aren't making that heat vanish, you're just delaying it's transfer. And by delaying it, it also means what's "inside" the system is getting HOT because that heat isn't escaping. So it some cases that might be nice (soldier on a cold night might like that warm blanket keeping his heat it) but in others it's awful (soldier in the desert is going to hate wearing one of these). But in all cases, that heat is still going to get out somehow, someway, eventually. At best you can put them up as directional barriers to prevent visibility in one direction, so heat is still escaping "behind" it, but as a wearable, it's going to be very short term/limited application.

Stay tuned ppl, I will be rolling out my TactiFridge 9000 soon. Basically it's a solar powered fridge with Batteries for overnight use. It has wheels and you hop in it when you detect a UAV overhead and BAM, no more heat signature. It's radar signature is minimal as I superglued some angles on it. Its camouflaged because I paint them green, or tan depending on the environment you're operating in and I staple native wildlife to the top. My groundhog edition is doing really well . Oh, and it also stores your beers, to quench your thirst after pulling the thing over rough terrain, or to give to your enemy as a form of peace treaty as you are knackered from pulling the fridge and incapable of fight. TactiFridge, for all your Tactical needs.

I’m curious how long it lasts. You can basically achieve something very similar by simply wearing a Mylar poncho, however, shorty your body temperature will heat the poncho itself, bringing back your visual footprint. So the real question is, how long does the infrared mitigation last? It can block my body heat all it wants to, until you figure out hoe to prevent the material itself from hearing up your product is useless.

You think they sell to civilians? Lmao. Try RELV. They aren't a military contractor, they don't have a vested interest in the government having severe advantages over you.

You can make one like this yourself but better. The only downside is that it will get very warm and u won't want to be moving around or in a hot place after a while. Also, if your in a dense forest your probably already hidden. In the fields and open steppe of Ukraine or in the desert, thermal is much more useful.

It's not the pattern that makes this unique, it's the thermal insulating properties. I don't think troops wanna wear something like this for more than an hour.

Pattern can mean type. Type of uniform. Is that what you meant? It would be hot to wear. But possible in some scenarios. A poncho can be worn under plate carrier etc.

Jesus people, this ain't rocket science. I said pattern, not material. Just print it on rolls of standard 50/50 nyco ripstop and make ACU's out of it. Gawd 🙄

Outstanding. The thermal imaging drones are the next stage in Warfare and they're also being used to drop improvised explosive devices. I'm a little disappointed in the camouflage system I think it needs a little bit of work. Congratulations. There was plans shared with the civilian population 10 to 15 years ago. I'm sure it's the same material. One thing I wish you would have introduced in your segment was how long does the individual stay cloaked or if the device begins to heat up the body temperature.

What if it was filled with a layer of water, maybe water can help reduce the gradual heating of the poncho

For the face and hands, the company should make tactical gloves and face covers with the same materials used in the poncho. They probably already thought of it.
