The SmartIR ATT is capable of producing dynamic infrared patterns and signals that can be updated with a miniature peripheral electronic circuit. The existing technologies are static, hence, more vulnerable to falsification.
Similar concepts to the ATT exist in the market deployed by defence primes such as BAE however, these systems are bulky, energy intensive, and less well suited to mobile applications.Īdditionally, thermal identification patches are currently employed by infantry and vehicles to recognise friendly forces in the field. In addition to aerospace, ATT also has application into thermal signature management for increased survivability and force protection against set-and-forget style weapons systems which target heat emissions for course guidance. This technology can be used for space suits to regulate the body temperature in the harsh environment of outer space. There is a strong market pull for lightweight, flexible, thermal control systems for integration into nano- and microSatellites. Initial demonstrators have been produced embedded into textile, plastic, and various substrates at 10x10cm scale.Īpplications exist across the aerospace, defence and domestic sectors, with a primary market opportunity surrounding supporting thermal management solutions in the growing sector of NanoSat and MircoSat deployments. Tiles enable control of thermal radiation on demand and can be connected together to cover large surfaces and controlled on a tile-by-tile basis. SmartIR Ltd is currently developing a flexible, lightweight, and switchable graphene-based tile system for coating surfaces to control infrared emissivity and visible colour across a broad spectrum. They are developing smart coatings and electro-optical devices enabling real-time dynamic control of infrared emissivity and visible colour.

To date, SmartIR Ltd has developed a portable demonstrator unit capable of masking or reflecting thermal radiation. was founded to develop a commercial pathway for a patented graphene technology for adaptive emissivity and absorption of infrared (IR) and visible light. © 2023 NYP Holdings, Inc.Dynamic infrared patterns, thermal management solutions, and adaptive camouflage systems are just some the developments enabled by the manipulation of infrared light.

He said in 2014 that it could allow a surgeon to “look through his hands to what he is actually operating on.” A University of Rochester Newscenter article continued: “The same principles could be applied to a truck to allow drivers to see through blind spots on their vehicles. Howell has published his research in academic journals, sure, but he’s given thought to the broader applications of such a tool. The best part? The mirrored contraption costs just $150 to make, and all the materials needed can be found at a local hardware store.
Little Isaac’s torso and legs seem to disappear, while the tiled wall behind him remains clearly visible through the middle of the device. In the video at the top of this story, Howell’s sons Benjamin and Isaac help demonstrate that light bounces around the mirrors. Reported by Business Insider on Wednesday but first tested in 2013, this version of the “Rochester Cloak” uses four mirrors arranged in nested V-shapes instead of lenses. Howell’s second go at the project is bigger: a person, not just an object, can stand behind it and disappear.
