Sweden Developing Invisible Tank

Posted by John Farrier in Society & Culture, Weapons & War on September 5, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Swedish engineers are working on a tank that will be able to blend into the background — whatever that background may be. It’s covered with a skin that can change its appearance:

The technology is based on sheets of hexagonal ‘pixels’ that are able to change temperature very quickly.

On-board cameras collect images of the vehicle’s background and display that infra-red image onto the vehicle panels, making it appear to vanish.

Ok, so maybe there is a slight hint of sarcasm incorporated into the title of this video.  Apparently there is a learning curve, for some, when it comes to the classic household game of hide and seek.  This little "ninja" has a long way to go in terms of mastering the art of finding a stealthy hiding spot.  The two images at the end of the video are priceless.
