The company made the announcements in the lead-up to DSEi later this month where it will be displaying its Mobile Camouflage System (MCS) on an Oshkosh Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV).
With ULCAS, the same characteristics that provide protection make the use of GPS and/or VHF communications more difficult for soldiers under the net.
The new camouflage screen uses Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) technology to allow selected frequencies, specifically in the GPS and VHF radio bands, to pass easily either way through the camouflage material, while protecting against the higher frequencies of electromagnetic waves used by radar systems.
