Advanced Camouflage Systems

Every part of a formation requires the ability to operate undetected. As sensors are becoming more advanced and complex threats increasingly difficult to anticipate, the demand for advanced signature management technology is constantly growing. As the world’s leading supplier of advanced camouflage systems, Saab Barracuda provides solutions including integrated vehicle and other platform systems, net- and operator systems for multispectral signature management and heat transfer reduction. Signature Management is at the core of our products. Saab Barracuda technology minimises the contrast between an object and the background, making sensory detection much harder. Signature Management reduces exposure and distance identification, which forces enemies to move closer in order to engage. With our long history of innovation and technical competence, we stand well prepared to meet both current and future challenges.
