There appear large quantities of heat insulated materials, which could completely “erase” or change the infrared image of the thermolytic body.
The most impressive effects of its heat insulated performance came forth at one night test---- a solider disappeared against the infrared receiver when he wore the infrared-resist raincoat that night.
Another way is to use one fabric which is made of “hollow beads” (being made of micro hollow aluminum and silicon balls). While it could resist revealing the thermal signal, it does not impede the function of body perspiration system.
There is also one insulated and heat proof paper transfer, which could be extensively adopted to the thermolytic body. Even the firing cannon would not be detected by the Infrared Imaging Device once it is equipped with the paper transfer. Under certain circumstances, even when the thermal signal could not be restrained completely, the paper transfer could change what shows on the Infrared Imaging Device. For example, during night operation, the paper transfer could partially erase the thermal signal of the tank, thus what shows in the adversary’s Infrared Imaging screen is a common truck poses no threat to them.
One company from Greece also produces a foamy material which could change the infrared images. When you partially cover the 1 cm thickness heat insulated material on the armored vehicle, then you will find what shows on the Thermal Imaging Night Vision Device is a common motor rather than the armored vehicle. Thus acts effectively in blinding the opponents and getting time for the army, so as to help the army grasp the rules of the battle.
