Revolutionary multi-spectral camouflage coatings shield against several detection ranges. These sophisticated materials combine infrared signature control with adaptive color-changing ability and radar-absorbing qualities. Multiple layers of specific materials that may actively react to various environmental conditions and threat scenarios make up the coatings. While some systems use electrochromic materials that can vary their electromagnetic properties in response to electrical impulses, others include photochromic compounds that automatically change their optical characteristics depending on ambient light conditions. This technology offers full protection concurrently against several detection techniques.
