In a move to enhance its operational capabilities in desert and semi-desert environments, the Indian Army has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the procurement of 10,276 Multi-Spectral Camouflage Nets (MSCN). This procurement is aimed at equipping critical military assets like tanks and radars with state-of-the-art camouflage technology to evade enemy detection across multiple electromagnetic (EM) spectrum ranges.
The MSCNs are specifically intended to provide multi-spectral concealment for critical military assets when operating in hostile environments. These nets are designed to safeguard equipment by minimizing their detectability from enemy surveillance systems, ensuring a tactical advantage in both offensive and defensive operations.
MSCNs are not your average camouflage; they are designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment while simultaneously reducing visibility by Hiding equipment from direct sight, Concealing heat signatures that could be detected by thermal imaging devices, Masking the heat emitted by equipment, especially useful against advanced thermal imaging systems. Minimizing radar cross-section to avoid detection by enemy radar systems.
The MSCN for Desert/Semi-Desert Terrain is engineered to adapt to the specific color and light conditions of these environments, ensuring effective camouflage day or night. When stored in a sealed condition in a closed, uncontrolled environment, the nets and their support systems are guaranteed a 10-year lifespan. Post-seal break, the MSCN and its support system are designed to withstand 150 handling cycles or up to seven years, whichever comes first. Each cycle includes unpacking, setting up, and repacking the system, showcasing the robustness and practicality of the equipment for field operations.
