special camo nets for command center
-
Just like to raise a different topic.
Many years ago, I happen to come by an army/military orders magazine and I read about special camo nets used by the US military that enables entire command centers to be protected such that infra red, sound etc plus other EM radiation are absorbed.
I thot it was very cool idea given the fact that the camo nets that I have come in contact with are totally old and useless - can't even break the shape of the vehicles.
Any body read anything similar? can't seem to find it on the web.
The relevance of this seems importance given that most of the other technological counterparts in airforce and navy are going stealth but our regular land forces still can give the whole game away. -
from wat i heard before, our own camo nets is coated with a special chemical which enables us to stay undetected when a UAV flies across on top.
those that we are using now are for training purpose. obviously it doesn't have the desired effects loh... -
camo nets, if not too worn out and if done properly, does great in breaking up the shape of man-made things, especially from overhead detection.Originally posted by vaxjunior:Just like to raise a different topic.

o cos we cannot expect saf to give us brand new nets during peacetime trg rite? -
Well, I've heard rumours that saf camo nets used to cover armoured vehicles got such special capabilities too, though its just rumours that are spreading around during my service in an armoured batl.

I am not surprise at all that the new camo net able to prevent infrared signtaure to penetrate thru becos of proliferation of NVG and thermal camera etc in modern warfare.Originally posted by ditzy:Well, I've heard rumours that saf camo nets used to cover armoured vehicles got such special capabilities too, though its just rumours that are spreading around during my service in an armoured batl.
It is not just modern technology but rather a necessities.
