Tanks test infra-red invisibility cloak

[papa_smurf]

Tanks could soon get night time invisibility thanks to a cloaking device that masks their infra-red signature.

BAE estimates that the technology could be ready to put into production in two years.

British inventiveness at its best:salute:

They better fix their Chally-2 fire-control system first! From all I hear and read about it, it is so exotic and different than anyone else's that everybody could immediately identify it as a typically British design.* :D

Gaining invisibility - at night. Oh those Brits. Everybody else would have chosen invisibility at daylight. :DL

I've come across this before and would ask the same question again...would an invader have any hesitation in shooting anything that moved in a period of extreme tension? :hmmm:

Impressive, I wonder if they'll put this in with the cloak they were testing a year or two ago.

No, they put that down and couldn't find it again! :03:

You know, that really would not surprise me! :haha:

Or with the cloak the Danes brought over to Afghanistan a few years ago.

And here i though the Brits where cutting down their military.... or are they just cloaking them!:o

Hey - the funding for such frivolity and wishful thinking has to come from somewhere! :nope:

[TLAM Strike]

I think we all know the real reason the military has developed this... all the causalities in Afghanistan have really been caused by a Predator....
