New Invisibility for future battlefields

New invisibility for future battlefields

Because of the numerous elements that might continuously observe and analyse the future battlefields, Camouflage, Concealment, and Deception have to evolve and maybe even re-define themselves to fulfil their promises.

Will there be possibilities to remain invisible over the complete spectrum, and hide from the numerous and various detection systems?

As new battlefields are no longer limited to the domains and dimensions we used to think about, what forms of invisibility could an opportunity or a threat benefit from?

To discover more about the concept of invisibility, we offer to cover the following topics:

*   Invisibility materials
*   Multifunction Metamaterial
*   Electromagnetic wave invisibility
*   Humanless battlefield
*   Unmanned systems
*   Silent war
*   Full invisibility
*   Narrative control

Our aim is to engage you and create revealing moments for you to discover, reflect and experience elements around these topics.

Join us for this unique moment!
