are we entering an age when materiel become too cute for combat

nemesis4u:


it uses infrared camouflage called Adaptiv consisting of thermoelectric plates, capable of posing as many different objects, such as ordinary cars, stones, trees etc. to an enemy IR-viewfinder. It takes 1,500 plates to cover a CV90.

The panels forming Adaptiv's pixels are hexagons approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) wide. The system allows its operator to "grab" a thermal image from a vehicle or other object for display.

Infrared cameras continuously gather thermal images of the vehicle's surroundings. The Peltier plate panels are rapidly heated and cooled to match either the temperature of the background, such as a forest, or one of the objects in the thermal cloaking system's "library" such as a truck, car or large rock. The system is able to gather and display thermal images while the vehicle is moving. The result is to "cloak" the vehicle from detection by heat-detecting night vision devices .

The vehicle essentially works like a chameleon, able to mimic its surroundings, or copy other objects such as trucks and cars that can be projected onto the panels from a detailed image bank. The vehicle is also able to signal peaceful intend through flashing text messages across its flank or by creating patterns that can easily be recognized by friendly forces.

1 tank round or IED would still reconfigure its brain.

you carry fancy tech to combat

nemesis4u:


same logic would mean one R27 will kill a F22 easily

but will that happen that easily

technology is the driver to new frontiers of warfare and will always be

it carries fancy gears to avoid detection by in the IR spectrum.

what about when it has been detected using the regular eyeballs? can it withstand a hit?

Someone here, I think it was Dayo, posted images of a UAV suspiciously resembling the Denel Bateleur, offered by your real not pretend rivals. You'd be amazed how much chutzpah they have, for example unsuccessfully ordering 1 each of every SA system in which they're interested, year after year .

chinese8107:


don't have to clone

already have TYW-1

tdayof:


Alot of UAV coming out of China, is anyone buying them?

chinese8107:

MikeCZA:
Maybe they "liberated" the old chap responsible for the Bateleur from the banking world.

Or maybe they bought the plans as part of kickbacks for Denel masking their dealings with people they aren't supposed to.
