Are they going to mask the engine noise too? What about the tires kicking up dust?
IF they could make it work on a trooper's BDUs (some sort of adaptive camouflage ghilie suit) then maybe it would be worth it since individual soldiers tend to be stealthy. But I don't see them making stealthy ground vehicles.
For a scout to be effective it must be one of two things, Fast (Like a recce aircraft), or Small (like a scout-sniper team). Ground vehicles are neither.
