Anti IR Poncho

The IR Camouflage Poncho is a lightweight, wearable thermal and visual signature management garment designed to reduce the detectability of personnel against EO/IR sensors operating in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR: 3–5 µm), and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR: 8–14 µm) bands. The poncho is intended for dismounted soldiers, reconnaissance teams, and static observation roles in diverse operational environments.

Intended Application:
  • Personal IR signature reduction
  • Visual and NIR camouflage
  • Thermal blending with natural background
  • Protection against aerial and ground-based EO/IR surveillance (UAVs, thermal imagers, IR pods)
