The U.K. army begain testing technology that can make a tank nearly invisible. In trials last week, the army was able to make a tank completely disapear.

This invisible technology works by projecting images of the surrounding landscape onto the surface of the tank (or any object to be hidden). This gives the effect of looking through the object as the landscape that would normally be obscured by the tank is now visible. The weakest point of this intricate and delicate system of cameras and projectors is that it would have to be able to handle intense conditions.



The invisible tank is expected to be battle ready by 2012. I think we will see invisibility technology in use with other military machinery by that time as well.
