US Military Fibrotex Camouflage

The US Army is moving foward on next-generation concealment technology to ensure that American soldiers can hide in plain sight.

Fibrotex has built an Ultra-Light Camouflage Netting System that can be used to conceal soldier's positions, vehicles, tanks and aircraft. The new "camouflage system will mask soldiers, vehicles and installations from state-of-the-art electro-optical sensors and radars," the company said Thursday in a press release sent to Business Insider.

Fibrotex has been awarded a contract to supply this advanced camouflage to conceal troops from night vision, thermal imaging, radar and more.

Soldiers, vehicles, and other relevant systems can just about disappear in snowy, desert, urban, and woodland environments, according to the camouflage maker.

The new program aims to replace outdated camouflage that protect soldiers in the visible spectrum but not against more advanced, high-end sensors. ULCANS "provides more persistent [infrared], thermal & counter-radar performance," Fibrotex explained.

The Army has awarded Fibrotex a 10-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract valued at $US480 million. Full-scale production will begin next year at a manufacturing facility in McCreary County, Kentucky, where the company expects to create and secure hundreds of new jobs in the coming years.

"Today, more than ever, military forces and opposition groups are using night vision sensors and thermal devices against our troops," Eyal Malleron, the CEO of Fibrotex USA, said in a statement.

"But, by using Fibrotex's camouflage, concealment and deception solutions, we make them undetectable again, allowing them to continue keeping us safe."

Enemies can't see in, but US soldiers can see out

Interesting. Thank you very much for the share.
For interested, check out the Kryptek camo too. It's fairly new.

Trees for camo . its genius

[Black Orchid]

This is what they used during WW1.

Built using steel and wrought iron, these are no normal trees.

They are camouflaged weapons of war used to devastating effect during World War I on the Western Front.

The bizarre fake tree observation posts were built to spy on the enemy after switching them under cover of darkness with real battle-scarred stumps left in no-man's land.

That's nothing.

Here's your average MG-42 machine gun nest in Switzerland:

And your regular artillery in Switzerland:

And of course bigger cannons, inside a rock, in Switzerland:

*SIGH*, what a shame the Swiss only positioned their bunkers on the Western and Southern Approaches to their country. Seems there weren't enough mountains to the North and the East. Shame they basically abandoned "Festung Switzerland" as a defence strategy in 1943, when they realised that their main enemy was those nasty Nazis from Germany. They went over to a mobile defensive force, mounted in armoured and mechanised formations. Much more likely to deter the nasty Nazis, hey? What a shame that the nasty Nazis never got to invade Switzerland. Why? 'cause the Swiss caved to the nasty Nazis and allowed them to tranship defence materiale' between Northern Italy and Southern Germany... Guess what didn't deter them? Private ownership of firearms. Barely rated a mention in the invasion plans by the Wehrmacht.
