The Lyrics

Camouflage is evolving with new use of electronics. In the air electrochromatics can reverse sky and ground but relies on too much sensitive tech, so no aircraft uses it yet. Euro version is Miraflage. But for tanks, BAe of the UK has applied temp-controlled hexagonal tiling to a tank for thermal imaging manipulation. In the day this tech is useless, but at night the tank can change the configuration of the tank into , say, a small car by varying the temp of the tiles which create a thermal imaging TV screen with each tile representing pixels. By manipulating temp the tank can look like a car from a distance. It can also mask heat and blend right into its background- unseen. BAe intends to use this on AFVs and MBTs first and then move to aircraft and ships- the last being a monumental undertaking with the effects of the sea. Adaptiv is just one route. The Germans prefer testing EM field-deflective armor and did so in 2004, the incoming round hitting an invisible wall of energy and the blast redirected around the tank!!!
New camouflage is cool
Redefines

Adaptiv- a creative tool
Hexy-tilin’
For tank disguisin’

An electronic kit
Masks tank all around
Fools thermal imaging
Blends tank into background and astounds

[Can alter configuration down]

New camouflage is cool
Redefines
In all climes

Aircraft too
Aircraft too
Aircraft too
And warships someday
Sea, land, or air
Good security
Prevents being prey

[At night, not in day]

A good screen
New camouflage is cool
Redefines
(can blend into the green)

This parody officially qualifies as the best way to catch up on what BAE are doing - I used to work for them as a Software Technician once upon a time (until I escaped!) Nice job Rob - 555

TY Wendy. BAe also deals in aircraft stealth and has HALO as well as a range of other secret projects. The Boscombe Down crash was supposedly a BAe stealth prototype, similar- looking to the rejected US X-23...
