The Ghost Tank ( Chameleon Tank )

The word invisible may be a bit misleading though, it's more like a chameleon. A chameleon that only works at night. The British Army revealed this tank at the world's largest weapons fare.This is one of the Latest Technologies by British Army.

The Invisible tank works by using the infrared technology on night-vision goggles and surveillance planes against them . The tank uses a system of thermo electric tiles and thermal cameras in order to conform with the environment around it. These heat signatures can change so fast that it even works while moving


 The tank is coated in silicon, effectively turning the vehicle into a highly reflective movie screen. Video cameras positioned on the tank take real-time footage of the surrounding environment, and projectors show the images on the surface of the tank. To observers at secret trials conducted by the British army in October 2007, the only thing visible was the images of the terrain projected onto the tank.
The British military plans on having the tanks battlefield-ready by 2012, but this technique may be short-lived due to some drawbacks. Cameras or projectors may fail, and from different angles, the tank may be visible. It's a somewhat clumsy and difficult way of rendering an object invisible . Using cameras and projectors creates a smoke-and-mirrors style optical illusion, and the lead researcher at the British test isn't entirely satisfied with the technology.
