Camouflage for high value assets is rapidly becoming a point of focus.

The Armenia-Azerbaijan war of 2020 and the Russia-Ukraine war of 2022 have both displayed the growing need to prioritise sensor camouflage.

The contemporary peer on peer battlefield runs 24/7, but humans require periodic quality rest.

The two most recent peer on peer conflicts display how stopping and harbouring up makes you an easier fixed target.

The conundrum of the modern battlefield is that if you stop, you die. But if you don’t stop, you face rapid cognitive decline and die.

Sensor camouflage could be an insurance policy that meets or exceeds minimum rest and recovery needs of soldiers as well as improving expensive asset survivability in a world looking increasingly like “SCUD the Disposable Assassin” where loitering munitions are getting cheap enough to target individual combatants.
