FUTURE IN MIND: THE NEXT LEVEL OF WAR TANKS (STEALTH MODE TANKS)

The idea of the PL-01 is to try and eliminate the infrared, radar and visual signature of the traditional tank

This the next level of technology in relation to security..This tank was built to disguise itself to look like a car and also have the capability to appear and disappear  at the touch of a button

 Its the next phase of war tanks built in Poland and it has been revealed that the "Stealth Tank" has the potential to fool enemy forces by changing its shape on the infrared images using smart tiles

"The PL0-01 prototype tank is a three person, 35 tonne tank.
Covered in a mesh of specially developed tiles, it can make itself look like a car of any other object - simply by changing the temperature of the tiles".

The tank can also blend into the background.
 It does this by processing what small infrared sensors mounted around the tank detect, and then displays a pattern on the tank's honeycomb-like covering that best matches the infrared data collected, masking it completely.
The wafers can also be manipulated in temperature. acting as a screen and allowing controllers to control exactly how it looks.

HOW IT WORKS

Hexagonal plates. that cover the tank can control their heat, and the temperature of the entire tank.
If they adjust to ambient levels, the tank effectively disappears from heat imaging sensors normally used to spot vehicles on the battlefield.
The wafers can also be manipulated in temperature. acting as a screen and allowing controllers to control exactly how it looks.
This allows for the tank to use active infrared camouflage, such as tiger striping its infrared signature in the jungle, or as a car in the city
