| Summary/Abstract |
So many sensors now populate the battlefield that there is almost no portion of the electromagnetic spectrum unexploited by imaging devices operating in the visual, near IR, short, medium and long wave IR, and even ultraviolet wavebands. IR sensors, however, are now so widespread that managing thermal signatures has become as important as visual camouflage. As with stealth at sea and in the air, however, benefits are generally analogue rather than digital - people and things are not either visible or invisible, rather they are more or less visible at varying ranges. This means that small improvements in signature management can give the side that possesses them a significant advantage.
