Russia Develops Fabric to Hide Troops from Thermal Imagers
Researchers at the Military Academy of the Russian Armed Forces’ Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense (RCBD) Troops have developed a three-layer fabric that is capable of hiding troops from thermal imagers.
As per documents presented at the ongoing ARMY-2023 Forum, the “cloak makes it possible to completely hide the tracks of troops from working thermal imagers and drones equipped with thermal cameras.”
The fabric has three layers: the inner layer reflects infrared radiation from the user’s body; the middle layer absorbs infrared radiation; and the outer layer reflects the infrared radiation from the environment.
Apart from the cloak, a hoodie was also made from this fabric, complete with special goggles that are protected from thermal reconnaissance tools. It will allow troops to carry out monitoring activities without being noticed.
