Chapter 183: Camouflage System
183 camouflage system
There was a dead silence in the command center.
The faces of all the commanders were gray.
How can it be?
How is that possible?
How could all the information they had obtained be wrong?
They used drones to reconnoitre, and the result was that Point 3 was the key position of the Blues!
Their electromagnetic reconnaissance also corroborates this result!
If the previous intelligence was wrong, then where did the Blues' key positions go?
Why can't drones see it?
Why did electromagnetic reconnaissance not find it either?
Why can't they see anything when they use infrared scouts and thermal imaging scouts to reconnoiter other areas!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Incomprehensible!
unimaginable!
If that's all wrong, where did the main force of the Blues go?
Disappeared from the ground?
I don't know how long it took for the 51st to come back to his senses, as the supreme commander of this beach-rushing landing operation.
At this time, a British student suddenly shouted: "I know! Damn, I know why this is happening! They used the most advanced camouflage system! They must have used the most advanced camouflage system! ā
What the?
Hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
State-of-the-art camouflage system?
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to express the feelings in my heart!
Generally speaking, when performing tasks, the troops will pay attention to reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, camouflage and anti-camouflage, and will use as many anti-reconnaissance equipment and camouflage equipment as possible!
But to tell the truth, these things are relatively fragmented and difficult to systematize.
In light of this situation, there are rumors that the U.S. Army is secretly working with a number of companies to develop a complete camouflage system.
Not camouflage equipment, but a whole camouflage system.
This camouflage system is a feature stealth system that can be used around the clock, providing multi-spectral protection for troops and equipment.
It is said that this project aims to replace the traditional woodland and desert camouflage series developed in the 90s of the 20th century, and will develop a variety of dark and light color series products according to different environments such as woodland, snow, mountain, desert and city.
The U.S. Army expects the system to obscure the characteristics of troops and equipment to eliminate the threat posed by high-end sensors on the battlefield.
According to the Army Times, Israel's Fibrotex was awarded the contract for an indefinite volume, indefinite delivery for a total of $480 million. The contract is to be fulfilled for a period of 10 years, and mass production of the new camouflage system is expected in 2019.
The U.S. Army tested the world's major camouflage technologies using state-of-the-art battlefield reconnaissance sensors at the Soldier Systems Center in Massachusetts, and after nearly two years of testing and data collection, the ultra-light camouflage system was finally selected as the next generation of the Army's general camouflage system.
Much of the technology required for the system is based on the Israeli company Fibrotex over the past two decades, but it has been refined and optimized in accordance with the requirements provided by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The ultralight camouflage system will provide multi-spectral camouflage, which simultaneously hides the target in several parts of the electromagnetic spectrum so that it cannot be detected.
Traditional military camouflage only hides targets in the visible spectrum, but the multi-band design also allows targets to evade detection by infrared sensors, thermal imaging sensors, and radar.
Fibrotex uses a bi-directional design on the material, resulting in different modes and capabilities on both sides of the system, allowing soldiers, vehicles, and weapon systems to "disappear" into a variety of combat environments.
"With more than 50 years of experience in the production of camouflage equipment and thousands of hours of field work, we have a deep understanding of conventional and asymmetric warfare," said Eyal Marlelen, CEO of Fibrotex USA. The U.S. Army has tested our camouflage solution several times and has proven it to be able to evade detection by all known sensors on the battlefield today. ā
Many of the people present have heard of this information to a greater or lesser extent!
But the point is, it could take a few years for that kind of thing to be officially launched!
Besides, it's a US Army military secret!
Don't..... The Nava Marine Academy got the same type of test product?
Or is this adversarial training supposed to be a test of related products?
All of a sudden, everyone's hearts were full of suspicions!
At this moment, the chief instructor slammed the slap on the table: "Hey, what are you still doing in a daze?" Want to eat the Blues' guns? ā
A word wakes up the dreamer.
I have to admit that these students are still young after all, and there is still a huge gap between them and real veterans!
If there are veterans in their position at the moment, then the first thing they should think about is how to fight back, not guess what is hidden in the middle!
But no matter how hard they tried on the 51st, in the end, this confrontation drill still failed!
Fiasco!
A group of students organized a review and summary meeting.
There will be two reviews, one for each group to review by themselves, and the second time for a group of two groups to review with instructors and experts.
Li Yu, a group of them, first reviewed by themselves.
The trainees vied with each other to speak and sum up their experience in this confrontation exercise.
The first to stand up was Cadet 107 Shikina.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hello everyone, regarding the failure of this confrontation exercise, my conclusion is that we should not rely too much on equipment and equipment, we should pay more attention to the role of people, if we had adopted the suggestion of student No. 113 at the beginning of this exercise, and sent ground reconnaissance personnel to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance at the beginning of the operation, then the result would definitely have been different!"
Li Yu supported Hikina's opinion: "Dear students, I very much agree with the suggestion of student No. 107, in our Chinese tradition, we attach great importance to armed reconnaissance, and we spend a lot of time and energy on armed reconnaissance training every year, why?" I think the key is that no matter how science and technology develop, he will never be able to replace the role of people, the most advanced anti-reconnaissance equipment can deceive drones, can deceive electromagnetic reconnaissance instruments, but can not deceive people, we only need to see on the spot, we can know whether this place is the enemy's key position! But neither UAVs nor electromagnetic reconnaissance can do this! ā
Li Yu's words were echoed by many people.
Everyone nodded.
"yes, I don't think we can all press on the equipment!"
"Yes, intelligence is too important for a battle, you can't bet all on any one side, you should use a variety of reconnaissance methods!"
Hearing everyone's response, Fifty-One felt very uncomfortable.
He quibbled for himself: "Fellow students, I admit that this confrontation and training of our Red Army failed, and the defeat was still very bad, but I do not agree with the opinion of the No. 113 student, this time the failure is not that our Red Army is too bad, but that the Blue Army is too cunning, and they are even suspected of cheating, because they use the most advanced camouflage system that is still in the testing stage!" And our side has not been equipped with the most advanced anti-camouflage equipment! ā
"I don't agree with Fifty-One!" Li Yu immediately retorted: "The main reason for our failure this time is because we ignored the role of people in intelligence reconnaissance!" ā
When the fifty-one heard this, his face became more and more embarrassed: "Student No. 113, don't you still understand why we lost?" It's because the Blues use the most advanced camouflage system! We just had a problem with the intelligence link, and everything else was doing well! ā
"Nope! That's not true! The fundamental reason is that we rely too much on external forces, and if we do not pay attention to the role of people, then even if we have the most advanced weapons, we will fail! Li Yu argued.
Fifty-one was furious: "Student No. 113, that's enough!" You know? Say no more! Remember why you're here? You come to Nava Marine Academy, your purpose is to learn the most advanced Marine Corps combat concepts and combat methods!
Pay attention to the power of people, yes, that is your Chinese tradition, but you have to understand why you have such a tradition, that is because your China is too backward, that is a helpless choice, understand? You can't use your choices as a last resort to define the future of warfare! ā
When Li Yu heard this, he was also angry, and stood up suddenly.
The two of them had a big quarrel, and a good review and summary will break up unhappily!
F-U-C-Kļ¼
Coming out of the conference room, the fifty-one student kicked a chair in annoyance, kicking the chair out of the way for a long time!
"Number 113? Number 113? He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Who do you think you are?" Do you think you're amazing? Why target me everywhere! Okay, I'll wait, I'm going to see what you can do with the last confrontation drill? Can you do better than me? ā
