Modern battlefields are covered in sensors. Drones, satellites, thermal cameras, radar, acoustic sensors, electronic warfare systems, and even balloons are all looking for movement, heat, signals, and patterns.
So how does anybody hide anymore?
In this episode, we look at how militaries are adapting camouflage for the drone age. That means more than throwing a net over a vehicle. It means breaking the kill chain: avoiding detection, confusing identification, hiding thermal signatures, controlling radio emissions, moving before the enemy can strike, and using decoys convincing enough to waste missiles, drones, and time.
We cover visual camouflage, multispectral concealment, thermal detection, EMCON, battlefield movement, decoys, and why the boring habits like where troops park, when they transmit, and how long they stay in one place, all may be the difference between surviving and getting spotted.
