MOSCOW, October 2 - RIA Novosti. Combat vehicles of the Russian army will receive a chameleon coating that can change color depending on the surrounding landscape, the prototype is already being tested, a source in the military-industrial complex told RIA Novosti.

"A prototype of a camouflage coating based on electrochromic materials has been created, which changes color depending on the surrounding landscape. Testing of prototypes of the coating on mock-ups of equipment is currently underway," the agency interlocutor noted.

It is planned to equip various armored vehicles with such camouflage, for example tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and so on.

The masking complex, the source explained, consists of separate small plates with an electrochromic coating, which allows him to create various visual images that not only copy the color of the surrounding landscape, but also its structure.

The system collects information about the surrounding environment using video cameras. The resulting image is analyzed by the computing complex in terms of color and structure, and then the coating adjusts to the surrounding reality, creating appropriate camouflage images.

"The speed of the masking reaction to changes in the environment is a fraction of a second. If, for example, a tank was standing in a field and the coating had a coloring of one type, and then it changed position and turned out to be against a landscape of another type, then the coating will change the color and structure of camouflage throughout its movement," the interlocutor said.

The source added that the new disguise will not allow the enemy's television and optical devices to work effectively, for example, optical-location stations of aircraft and drones, as well as sighting and navigation complexes of ground equipment.

"Due to the fact that the equipment will merge with the landscape, there will be a breakdown of automatic tracking," the interlocutor explained.

He clarified that at long distances, a professionally trained person will also have problems with identification.

For the first time, electrochromic material was demonstrated by representatives of Roselectronics (part of ROSTEC) at the Army-2018 exhibition as part of the project to create equipment for the next generation soldier of the future. Then they presented a helmet with coating plates installed on it. Later, there were statements that such a disguise would be used as part of the "Centurion" kit.
