Adaptive Camouflage Cloak for Combat Vehicles - BAE

The system called ‘ADAPTIV’ was developed and patented in Sweden, it operates over infra-red and other frequencies. ADAPTIV can instantly blend the vehicle into the background, reducing detection range below 500 meters. Furthermore, the new technology can also mimic natural objects and other vehicles, and offer cooperative Interrogator Friend/Foe (IFF) capability by displaying distinctive patterns visible only at certain spectral range or in response to an interrogation signal (for example, illumination by coded laser designation).

Indecent exposure

Today the government of belgium decided to prohibit the Burqa. They said it has nothing to do with the religion, how can you say that? but that's not what interests me. Their point is that it covers the face so the women that wear it are not identifiable. I think everybody has the right to be not identifiable, this is the new step in our totally registrated society. It's not for you and me but for the camera's that registrate everything. Nowadays everybody, especially moslims, is a potentially suspect.

On the thursday of the becoming minority week, there was this artist called Christian Huebler of the artist group Knowbotic Research. He said "it's in the nature of men, to hide or camouflage". They made a nice project out of it. Mac Ghillie. I can not find it on the internet. But i will explain it shortly.

The had a mac Ghillie suit they modified it with a concrete color. Then the suit was placed in a big red box somwhere in the city of Vienna. Threw internet and flyering they informed the people about the macGhillie project, together with a phone number that you could call if you wanted to wear the suit for a couple of hours. So you could veil yourself and walk around unidentified. I did find some more info.
