Invisible Tanks, Planes and Armor Could Hit Battlefields in 5 Years

British military scientists plan to develop an army of "invisible" tanks ready for use on the battlefield within five years.

Using highly sophisticated electronic sensors attached to a vehicle's hull, BAE Systems plans to project images of the surrounding environment back onto the outside of the vehicle -- enabling it to merge into the landscape and evade attack

The programme is based around seven different military vehicles

The vehicles include:

* Pointer: an agile robot which can take over dirty, dull or dangerous jobs, such as forward observation and mine clearance.

* Bearer: a modular platform which can carry a range of mission payloads, such as protected mobility, air defence and ambulance;

* Wraith: a low signature scout vehicle;

* Safeguard: an ultra-utility infantry carrier or command & control centre;

* Charger: a highly lethal and survivable reconfigurable attack vehicle;

* Raider: a remotely or autonomously controlled unmanned recce and skirmishing platform – similar in design to the "Batmobile"

* Atlas: a convoy system which removes the driver from harm's way.

Scientists at BAE are also looking at a number of revolution battlefield inventions which will increase troop protection as well as making the vehicles more lethal.

Scientists are close to developing a form of transparent armour - much tougher than bullet proof glass – which could be used in turrets of on the sides of armoured vehicles which would improve the situational awareness of troops inside.

Ugh, I read about this bullshit like 3 years ago. Surprised that some shitty news site figures out about it only now.

Yeah, it's an old idea that I read about 20 years ago, but it's here and working now.

No pix(other than some ugly render) so it didn't happen.

EDIT: That might sound a bit weird, I mean:
No vids so it didn't happen

Just stop, i was on the laser thread.
there are all these advancments happening, yes there will be invisibility in the future of war but probably ony within the next 15 years and only for black operations.
If any advancements just think of scram jets and rail/electromagnetic cannons

There's no point looking for videos, you'll find fakes. I'll wait until they release a video officially.


On a different note, there were some other cloaking developments in the news recently, though in the early stages:

New Steps Towards A Real Invisibility Cloak (Popsci 2009)

Invisibility Cloak Swirls Closer to Reality (Popsci 2010)

...But the Wraith cloaking abilities need to be researched at a Control Tower.
