Our religious scriptures clearly depict man’s unfathomable desire to become invisible. The same longing is portrayed in various forms in fiction and even on the celluloid, say it H.G. Wells’ ‘The invisible Man’ or the movie ‘Predator’.



Scientists are still trying to capture the unknown phenomenon and load humans with the power of invisibility; especially the U.S. military has gone too far in the stretch. Researchers are working on the technology used by the Predator termed as ‘adaptive camouflage technology’ (a.k.a. electro-optical camouflage, a.k.a. active camouflage, a.k.a. chameleonic camouflage, a.k.a. cloaking technology).



Advanced American Enterprises (AAE), Fullerton, California claims to have finally developed the method to achieve tactical invisibility successfully. The Stealth Technology System (STS) is the most sophisticated camouflage/cloaking tech developed till date. The charm of the technique is that it can be applied to ground vehicles, boats, infantry war-fighters, and UGVs/ground robots apart form soldiers.



The STS adaptive camouflage technology makes the object virtually invisible even from 20-25 feet away. It can prove deadly if applied to aircrafts completely camouflaging them from the enemy and wiping them out without a trace.



Hope it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
