Cloth-chameleon. Rostec introduces new masking coverage

At the upcoming forum "Army-2018" a lot of new products will be shown, and one of them will be a special coating that can make soldiers and equipment invisible. The special coverage was created by order of the Russian Ministry of Defense and is able to change the pattern and color depending on the environment, reports TASS with reference to the head of the state corporation Rostec Sergey Chemezva, where the coating was developed.

As Chemezov explained, the developed prototype of the electrically-controlled material, capable of changing color depending on the masked surface and the environment, will be applied to military equipment and equipment of Russian military personnel in the future. It is able to imitate complex graphic images, such as, for example, foliage swaying in the wind, as well as display color changes. The principle of the material will be shown on the stand of the corporation on the example of a helmet of a perspective outfit of a Russian soldier to which the material will be applied.

The Rostec Corporation added that the possibilities of using the material are not limited only to the equipment of military personnel. The coating can be applied on both technology and weapons. The material is electrically controlled, but does not require a large amount of energy. To change the color no more than once every 1,5 seconds it takes from 4 to 20 watts per square meter. meter of coverage.

The technology was developed by TSNITI Tekhnomash of the Rosselectronika holding, commissioned by the Ministry of Defense. The company is developing organic materials to reduce visibility in the visible range.

Of course, it will be possible to equip at such a price only someone for certain tasks, something important ... I am glad that R&D is moving on topics ...

Uh-huh, this invisible hat has already been covered with the Barguzin BZHDK, Rubezh RS-26 ... Next in line are the T-14, Su-57 and PAK DA ....

She will cover herself.

Active mimicry has long been debated around the world.

So progress has come to practice.
And as usual, Russia has its first samples. The main thing is that it wouldn’t work out like with a 5th generation airplane, when they’ll put it on NATO’s stream, but we still have experiments.

[Vladimir 5]

As with an electromagnetic field, after all, such a sheet will work as an antenna ... Today, there are increased requirements for camouflage means, this is thermal insulation from IR detection (especially air), and electromagnetic stealth. and of course visual, in addition to dust and moisture protection, chemical. protection and other "defenses" .. We created an inflatable army (named after Serdyukov): tanks, airplanes, - and a separate fighter-set-up (for snipers and others) from a somewhat mechanized dummy it's time to create, - let them crawl, run on all fours along the front line like decoy ducks, (arrows are spotted on the shot by equipment) ... Mask like this on a grand scale, with false "live" targets, because future robotic weapons will not disassemble and take for a real goal ...

Well, the principle of "electrical control" is very confusing. In extreme conditions, it will close and glitch (and instead of green it will show red) or simply turn off. I'm not talking about the cost.
So far, it all looks like or window dressing for exhibitions or an adventure.

[Servisinzhener]

Maybe so. If only then the situation would not be repeated as during the Crimean War. With rifled trunks, railways and steamboats.

[x.andvlad]

Of course, it is in no way possible to lag behind, and it is necessary to work in this direction. But looking at our everyday reality (when, for example, "creeping line" or electronic displays in our public transport work until the first rain, etc.), you start to doubt all these innovations.

Do you need everything to be posted, up to manufacturing technologies?

You do not understand something. I don’t need anything of this, dear. I am talking about reliability in extreme combat conditions.

everything is reliable there ... it's just a special material with a memory effect when exposed to certain parameters by an electric current that can change color.
It is definitely not cheap right now, but if there is mass production, the price will definitely decrease significantly.

[x.andvlad]

I believe in your optimism.
I don’t know if you spent the night in a trench in the pouring rain, whether you kneaded mud with a knee-high boot, did you freeze in the field at night with 30 degrees of frost and wind. I think that with the use of electricity, as you say, certain parameters in such conditions (which must be accumulated somewhere and used correctly at the right time) there will be problems, to put it mildly, in real combat work.
Much, of course, depends on the specific situation. But as a rule, in combat conditions, this situation is far from a computer game.

can it close there? Do you have a phobia for electricity?

True or false, this is generally secondary. Primarily, I think that such a masking tool is spread in the media for the whole world! And what can I call it, except as a betrayal ?!
Now "partners" will want to get acquainted, buy samples, and then technology and documentation ...
Is it possible to plant high-ranking for such a thing ?!

Interesting contraption, it is a pity that there is practically no information. Let's hope that the story will be shown on Zvezda in the near future. True, if the cost is extremely non-budgetary, then do not wait widely among the troops.

The people went, Pash, some kind of flimsy, minuscule, they don’t write answers, IMHO it is nano and is controlled and not powered, which is important in this case, even if the impulse matches the parameters of the controller - well, it will blink before attenuation, so the next controller will be adjusted

[bouncyhunter]

My friend, I’m not good at nano, so I won’t touch this topic, but as for the minusakers and their silence, you are right!

[Servisinzhener]

I don’t know how long we have been doing this. But even 10 years ago, when writing a thesis, I read an article from a foreign journal in which studies in this area were described. But the most remarkable thing is that in the sponsors of the study they had such an organization as DARPA.

[private person]

Of course, this is an interesting thing, but wouldn’t it be as with the advertised T-14? They will calculate and say that things will not go further and more expensive than prototypes and as before they will improve the mass. network.

and is able to change the pattern and color depending on the environment,

[igorspb]

You can’t do this, otherwise they’ll throw them from the equipment onto the grass - then look for it ....... And even worse if they forget where they put the equipment in the forest ......

[Dull]

If the price of a tank, then why? It certainly won’t be cheap, because there is already an electrically controlled material, the chain of which can be damaged on the move, with a fragment, a bullet, a piece of land, water, hail, dirt, ice ... There is nothing cheaper and more reliable than paint. Maybe technology changes several climatic zones during the day? It will mask in all major ranges, being a cheap and reliable tool, then you can discuss something, but now it is nothing more than an initial development with good potential.

[Chichikov]

There are more and more applications and proposals from the military-industrial complex, we can say that the crisis in design "thought" has passed. It remains to tighten up the economic base and start implementing ideas. Until then, “If we are attacked, we will answer. Why do we need Mir if Russia is not there? " (GDP, World Order 2018).

[Professor]

As explained by Chemezov, the developed prototype of electrically controlled material, capable of changing color depending on the masked surface and the environment, will in the future be applied to military equipment and equipment of Russian troops

Any technique and clothing can change color depending on the masked surface and the environment. They are either covered with dust or dirt. You will not immediately see them against the background of the "environment".

And I would say this - hello future !!!!!
And as for economic feasibility, I think it will be necessary to see when it comes out in a series !!!!!)
And even at a fairly high price you can already find application - for example, for electronic warfare systems, I think they are much more expensive than even armata, etc.

The size of the T-72 tank is 6.67 / 9,53 (with a cannon) by 3,46 meters (wiki), i.e. area "under the fig leaf" = 23/33 m2.
The power consumed every 1.5 seconds will be from 92 to 660 watts. And if you make something like a tent on a tank, then it will drop by a kilowatt.
A kind of maaalenky bonfire!

This is the power consumed to change the color ... I think the material does not constantly consume current, only when changing the color ...

TASS reports with reference to the head of Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezv, where the coating was developed.

And then Yu. Borisov will come and say that it is too good and too expensive, so we will get by with the branches. A new batch of modernized brooms has already arrived.

A little more and the so-called adaptive camouflage will become a reality. How much they talked about the chameleon cover earlier, and here it’s for you - science fiction comes true! At first, I think there will be problems and failures at the cost of human life. But then, in the near future, our young special forces soldiers and especially the sniper will be perplexed - how did the old men fight without adaptive camouflage before ?!

[Kerensky]

They are already perplexed. That is why the factory "skin" in the NVG glows, but the one made with your own hands does not?
And I wonder what .... (there are 40 lines, but everyone understood) introduced camouflage squares? !!! There is nothing square in nature.

Just about this video: "The weight of the raincoat reached the weight of a winter down jacket. The concept of the invisibility cloak was based on the presence of two identical soft panels that contained a huge number of built-in chambers, the size of beads. Each panel had its own function, one absorbed image using cameras, and the other panel displayed an image with an error of one second, or even less.Unfortunately, the Japanese development did not become a genius, since putting on such a raincoat you will not become completely invisible. It is enough to look at a person from a different angle , and you will immediately find a flaw, a place that reflects the sun's rays or does not transmit an image. "

I don’t know how I can’t understand why? If they did it in Russia, it was a show, if in the west, then a breakthrough. An alternative to electronics, mechanics. Fucked with a helmet on a stump and already like a stump, Fucked about a birch and immediately the whole birch.
