Well. Things can always surprise you at arms shows, and this year nothin changes. BAE is showing off it's latest CV90- or not, depending on how you are looking at it. When you look at it with thermals you don't see an CV90- you see what ever the TC wants you to se, be it a polar bear or a trash can.

Yep- stealth has arrived. Covered with ceramic tiles costing a out a hundred bucks apiece, ran with cooling and heating elements, hooked up to a comouter and thermal camera's, it can alter it's tempature, even whilst moving to match anything in it's files or scanned with it's ball shaped sensor. Granted, it's at it's best at 500m out, and as the tiles get damaged, the effectiveness drops, this can be a huge advantage for the vehicle it's built into.

Freaking awesome. Got to hand it to those swedes. First the CV90, then Minecraft, and now this.
