The Challenge
Soldiers need to disappear
Modern reconnaissance reaches far beyond the human eye. CamoTEXtreme focuses on three critical domains:
👁️
Visible Light
Adaptive colour change to blend seamlessly with changing backgrounds.
🌡️
Infrared
Thermal signature control to minimize heat detection from sensors.
📡
Radar
Advanced absorption and reduction of electromagnetic reflections.
Any environment on the map
Arctic
−40 °C
Prevent cold injury and ensure survival.
Desert
45 °C
Manage extreme heat and solar radiation.
Tropical
35 °C
Breathable systems for high humidity.
