A demonstration video about the "Ghost" camouflage technology by german company Texplorer GmbH

Developed in cooperation with the german army , this material reduces the thermal signature of soldiers and vehicles and is additionaly hard to spot on rest-light intensifiers aswell as rest-light multiplicators.

It is also available as sheets to cover thermal hotspots of vehicles like tanks.

In combination with conventional camouflage measures (camo nets) it is possible to successfully conceal vehicles such as tanks, trucks, planes and helicopters on ground or airborne FLIR imagery and other night vision optoelectronic devices.

The material is machine washable.

The night vision systems that allow viewers to observe objects at night are night vision goggles. These work in the dark and provide good quality images.

The night vision goggles function as follows:

Light from an existing source like the moon or the stars is gathered by the front lens of the night vision goggles. This light then travels to the photocathode tube which converts the photons into electrons. Different chemical and electrical processes are applied to the electrons to increase them in number. The electrons then strike a phosphorous screen where they are converted back to visible light and the image thus formed is viewed by the observer.

The night vision goggles are available at different costs. To buy cheap night vision goggles, the best place to start a search is the internet.
