"OK guys, you see that big mist cloud on your IR? Put your stores
down right in the centre of it, and see what pops. Oh, and
someone put a radar-seeker down on their microwave emitter…
with a bit of luck, it might take out the generators and fuel trucks
as well…" |

To loosely paraphrase Monty, the major problem with
hiding anything from the enemy is that the enemy will
know you're hiding something. |

Ever hear of wired camo netting? With today's battlefield
technology, it would have more or less the same effect,
with the added benefit of also visually obscuring the
object. |

If this is, as claimed, faster to deploy than
conventional techniques, then it might be suitable
for a shell game with multiple IR screens, most
concealing nothing. |

Rapid deployment has all but replaced large-scale
camoflage on the modern battlefield. The shell game has
become 'where will it be' instead of 'where is it'. |

Covering them with what? Slightly irradiated water?
Perfectly visible and somewhat damp military equipment? |
