| Saab Barracuda Thermal Camouflage - These Should Fly Off the Shelves |
| 2026-05-17 |
| The next counter-drone solution for Arctic troops may not come in the form of missiles or lasers, but a poncho designed to hide users from thermal and ultraviolet (UV) sensors. Developed by Swedish defense giant Saab, the Barracuda Poncho is the latest addition to the company’s Soldier System line of advanced camouflage technologies. The wearable system is built to provide multispectral protection across a range of operational environments, from forests and deserts to extreme Arctic conditions. Weighing just over 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds), the poncho can be fully worn by a soldier in about 5 seconds, allowing troops to quickly conceal themselves during drone-heavy operations. |
