LONDON (UPI) -- British military scientists say they're working to
develop an army of invisible tanks ready for use on the battlefield
within five years.
The armored vehicles will use a technology known as "e-camouflage"
that would let images on the vehicle's hull change to match their
environment, The Sunday Telegraph reported.
Sophisticated electronic sensors attached the tank's hull would
project images of the surrounding environment back on the outside of
the vehicle, helping it blend into the landscape and evade attack, the
report said.
Until recently such ideas were thought to be the stuff of science
fiction, but scientists at the British defense company BAE Systems now
think near invisibility will soon become reality.
BAE scientists are also looking at other battlefield innovations to
increase troop protection while making vehicles more lethal.
Scientists at BAE are said to be close to developing a form of
transparent armor -- much tougher than bullet-proof glass -- which
could be used in turrets on the sides of armored vehicles to improve
visibility.
A technology called "biometric integration" uses advanced computer
programs to analyze crowds and search for potential threats by
analyzing suspicious behavior in groups or individuals, the newspaper
said.
