It was covered on TV (Discovery? Science Channel?) months ago.

of course we have this kind of technology. we had to deploy it due to the limited humint on the ground. and since we couldn’t get guys inside the organization to get the intel, we needed to put people close to the tangos without being detected. that required a new form of nano based camo.

B-2 stealth bomber, too - it supposedly doesn’t have enough motor to lift its own full-up weight. Some guess a secret anti-grav system is employed.

That’s probably that new digital camo the Marines are wearing.

This video just proves that digital cammo works very well on crappy digital cameras. That is ALL it is. When the soldier is in the grassy area the cammo is footling the camera with color and pixel size. when he moves into the different colored area it shows him perfectly. No big mystery here.

It could be Multicam...

"The pattern is designed to reflect some of the surrounding colors of the environment. It takes on an overall green appearance when under a green forest canopy and an overall tan look when in the open desert. By adapting to varying local lighting conditions, it blends well in many environments, elevations, seasons, weather conditions, and times of the day...MultiCam® relies more on a blending effect than a contrast effect to disguise the wearer. This effect allows it to perform in a wide range of environments, and keeps the pattern effective even at close distances where pixelated or “blocky” patterns often stand out against natural, non-blocky environments."
