Technology helps troops become invisible

A military-ready tech material has been developed by Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp, claiming to camouflage its wearers completely. No, it’s not quite a Harry Potter-styled invisibility cloak, but the Quantum Stealth camouflage material is said to be completely undetected even by night vision goggles. The Quantum Stealth material works successfully by bending the light waves around the wearer, so a person can blend into his/her surroundings.

Guy Cramer, the CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp., has had vast experience in the field of technology. Cramer comes from a long tutelage of technologically savvy individuals; his father helped create the Walkie-Talkie, and his grandfather worked in the tech field. His accomplishments include being the inventor of the Passive Negative Ion Generator (that acts as a performance enhancer without drugs or dietary supplements) and innovative camouflage developments based on mathematical fractals. He was commissioned by King Abdullah II of Jordan to develop a digital camouflage pattern that surpassed the standard U.S.-issued patterns.

Before developing Quantum Stealth, Cramer had been working on SmartCamo; Smart (Interactive/Intelligent) textiles are embedded with Nanotechnology and metamaterials, where the fabric could blend into its surroundings by changing colors.

Cramer stated that his invention has been met with much skepticism. There are “two separate command groups within the U.S. Military and two separate Canadian Military groups as well as Federal Emergency Response Team (Counter Terrorism) have seen the actual material so they could verify that I was not just manipulating video or photo results.” So there is actually a proven method to his madness.
Cramer’s Quantum Stealth works without the use of cameras, mirrors, lights, or batteries. Since the material is not bogged down with heavy machinery, it is lightweight and inexpensive. The technology has been tested and proven to work against military IR scopes and Thermal Optics. On his website, Cramer states that testing has demonstrated that 5% of a shadow would be on the wearer and 95% of the wearer’s shadows would be hidden. The light bends around the wearer tricking on lookers, thus deferring recognition.

Cramer has not yet released the exact technology he used to develop Quantum Stealth. On his website, he provides scenarios to give the public ideas of how this technology works. “A sniper is required to take out a high profile target at a specific location; however, there is no cover for miles. Prior to Quantum Stealth the sniper used to look for cover and concealment to hide their location, now they are able to remain undetected sneaking into the location, in open terrain, reloading without their movement being detected, changing locations without their motion being noticed and depart the location at any time day or night.”

Here’s another example that Cramer provides: “Cameras and visual sensors are on the enemy beach, the Special Forces team decked out in Quantum Stealth swims up to the beach in the middle of the day as they no longer have to wait till night to hide their approach. The team infiltrates the defenses without detection, completes their mission and goes out the same way they came in. The enemy reviews the sensors and cameras; no anomalies were detected on any sensor, no shadows on the cameras, no jamming of the sensors, no thermal signatures, the only evidence discovered by the enemy are boot tracks leading up the beach right past of their defenses and another set of boot tracks going back into the water.”

In order for Quantum Stealth-type products to hit the commercial market, Cramer is working on creating nonpowered color-changing materials. These products will use different technology from the Quantum Stealth or Smartcamo, for Cramer believes that people will more readily purchase camouflage that will change with climate, environmental, and day-to-night changes.
