New Camouflage Material 'Quantum Stealth' Could Make Soldiers Invisible
The U.S. military is backing the development of 'Quantum Stealth' fabrics, made by Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp, which could make soldiers virtually invisible.
The Quantum Stealth camouflage material makes the wearer completely invisible by bending light waves around him or her, reports the Daily Mail.
The fabric has only been seen in public via these mockup images, but Guy Cramer, CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp., told the Daily Mail: "The people that need to know that it works have seen it."
"Two separate command groups within the U.S. Military and two separate Canadian Military groups as well as Federal Emergency Response Team have seen the actual material, so they could verify that I was not just manipulating video or photo results."
"These groups now know that it works and does so without cameras, batteries, lights or mirrors... It is lightweight and quite inexpensive. Both the U.S. and Canadian military have confirmed that it also works against military IR scopes and Thermal Optics."
If it works, the fabric could help soldiers evade capture, carry out raids in daylight, enable the creation of new stealth aircraft and allow submarines to remain concealed when they surface.
Cramer added: "As news spreads of an invisible Canadian army which can move without detection, the psychological effect on the enemy is devastating, they never know when or even if this invisible army has them targeted or surrounded. How can you hit a target you cannot see, how do you defend from the invisible?"

What on earth are you guys
What on earth are you guys worried about? the US has never been invaded yet but has invaded 77 countries since the first world war. Feel safe, you have gun control.

People forget that Washington was burned to the ground by the British. If not for the French, there would be no United States of America.

I saw this stuff a few years ago on the History Channel; an episode of Modern Marvels where they were talking about stealth technology.
This is called "reactive camouflage and they were talking about using it for aircraft. Until now, I was not aware that they had developed it to this level, being able to use it for uniforms and other equipment.
As a veteran, I wish that this were available when I was in.

Yes, yes your Majesty! Our
Yes, yes your Majesty! Our new fabrics are of such high quality and stature that only those of exceptional intelligence, such as yourself, can see them! To everyone else they are completely invisible! Would you like to try some of them on?
Military secrets never last.
Military secrets never last. Whatever one country invents soon everyone has. Why don't we invest in force field style defenses that protect our people & territory. Then when everyone copies it every nation will have to mind their own business. Yes, I feel sad when a government goes insane & turns on it's own people, or allows a minority within it's borders to be persecuted or murdered, but I pay my government to provide national defense for the United States of America. As long as a hostile, corrupt government stays within it's own borders, it's own citizen must decided when to change it, and how to change it. Foreign wars have pushed the USA into outrageous debt. Until the US has it's debts & economy under healthy control, I'm not interested in giving our military a dime for new weapons or bases that aren't securing OUR borders.

Surprise, this article sheds more insight (of something invisible) than most news reporters did on this story. Others neglected to point out that these photos are only Photoshopped of what it is claimed it does. It wouldn't be the first time a country bluffed that they had something other countries would have no defense for.

Hmm. Now if it could just to that to Republicans.
Of course, then they'd have the stealth advantage... so... I dunno.
Duct tape over their mouths would still work, though, right?

Mr. DesElms,
...and you would willingly silence the voice of fact and truth, why??? Sometimes it takes a lifetime for reason to break through the shield of ignorance and unwillingness.
Republicans might seem to be YOUR nuisance, but one day their persistence and truth seeking will save your behind...God Bless!
@carolandv, what truth? Were
@carolandv, what truth? Were you not paying attention to what your precious GOTeabaggers were doing during the election and are still doing? You do NOT seek truth through lying at every turn, you conceal truth by lying at every turn.
Nice try, but perhaps you should pass the way of other infamous groups of pathological liars (NAZIS, Stalinists, etc.) have done.
It doesn't matter how many times you repeat the lie, it will never be truth.

@carolandv: I would never
@carolandv: I would never silence anyone... not even a troll like you, temping though it may be. It was a joke... one lost on you, apparently (though not surprisingly).
I'm a firm believer -- and have many, many times espoused my belief -- in the words of the old adage, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," often, but wrongly, attributed to Voltaire. I thank God, every day, that the likes of even you -- and even your act-alike and near look-alike: the hateful, demented and incendiary Ann Coulter...
SEE: http://bit.ly/ZbCxx0
...may espouse as much back-woods, back-biting and backward-thinking ignorance and hate as you both desire and routinely espouse here, with no governmental consequence.
Trust me when I tell you that none of that you and Ann have those rights has a single thing to do with Republican "persistence and truth-seeking" (as if the latter, and the word "Republican" ever often collided in the same sentence); nor will either of those things ever "save [my] behind," or anything else. That you think so is just further testament to, and evidence of, your continued both delusion, and willingness to embarrass yourself, around here.
So far, you may have noticed, I've avoided tangling with you. That has, in part, been because you and your typical outrageousness are usually not worth the trouble; and also, in part, because my father was right when he advised me to never wrestle with a pig because all I'll get is dirty, and the pig actually likes it. Of all the ultra-Right-winged, religiously-zealous, neo-fascist, wrong-headed ideologues around here, you and your usually-pointless diatribes are among the most egregious...
...right down to the passive aggressiveness of your "God Bless" kiss-off at the end of most of your postings. I'm clergy... though of the liberal/progressive bent who laments most deeply how your spiritually-punitive, Bible-thumping, gay-hating (and -bating) likes have co-opted -- nay, absconded with -- the word "Christianity;" and if I've had one self-described "Christian" like you end a debate wherein s/he got trounced by me with a disingenuous "God bless you," I've had a thousand...
...not a single one actually meaning it, any more than do you. So please stop it. It contributes to the now-huge body of your postings, here, which make you look both arrogant and disconnected from reality... but mostly arrogant.
I think we should stay away from one another. If you research my writings around the web, you'll see that I do this a lot, and have been so doing for years and years. I type almost 90 words per minute, and can whip-out a long, scathing and backed-up-by-fact response to your kind of simple-minded and wrong-headed mean-spiritedness which roundly pastes your likes in just minutes, without so much as breaking a sweat; and I can do it all day long.
Is keeping-up with that REALLY how you want to spend your time... a pretty, shoulder-padded, empty-headed, misguided, hateful, Ann-Coulteresque little blonde like you? Really?
Whatsay we just avoid one another around here, eh? You'll lick fewer wounds; and I'll be a better steward of my precious time.

"...and you would willingly silence the voice of fact and truth, why??? Sometimes it takes a lifetime for reason to break through the shield of ignorance and unwillingness."
I agree with this premise if not it's context. You don't seem to understand that religion and the religious right are the ones trying to silence facts and truth. As to the "It takes a lifetime for reason to break through the shield of ignorance and unwillingness." Yeah, and that is my hope for you and yours, though I hope it takes significantly less time. But yeah, republicans are hardly persisting in truth seeking, they are too busy destroying the lives of people who are disabled because "Ermagherd socialism!"
"How do you know so much about everything?'" was asked of a very wise and intelligent man; and the answer was "By never being afraid or ashamed to ask questions as to anything of which I was ignorant." - John Abbott (1821-1893)
Carol, your comment leaves me
Carol, your comment leaves me to wonder what you're REALLY like when you're not mindlessly defending Republicans, God and whatever else you like to troll on here. It's always funny to me that the things you write seem to mostly apply to you.

How about we simply move to fully robotic armies so we can avoid putting soldiers in harm's way? Duh! Mobile robotic weapons that physically resemble things like trees, etc. would be the ultimate camouflage.
