INTERMAT GROUP SA 's core business objective is to research, develop and produce Stealth / Anti-thermal / IR Coatings which minimize military assets (vehicles, weapon systems, critical infrastructure, buildings, personnel) thermal signature.
INTERMAT Anti-Thermal Signature Management Technology is a cutting-edge solution for infrared (IR) stealth across multiple platforms. Our advanced technology comprises paint coatings, textiles, and adhesives designed to significantly reduce the thermal and IR signatures of assets to modern IR sensors and missile guidance systems.
Our paint covers combat vehicles' Thermal and IR signature.You can think of it as the heat signature. Obviously, if a vehicle has a less detectable heat signature it would be less visible to a sensor that homes in on heat. The kind of sensors that are found on an enemy DRONE, UAV or a heat-seeking missile (anti-tank, etc.).
We're defending the people who are inside the Humvees or inside Combat Vehicles or inside the buildings. If they can't be seen, and they can't be sought out by missiles, they can't be hurt.
Something that lessens the heat signature would save lives!
In the face of highly sophisticated modern detection systems, the need for advanced materials to improve camouflage and concealment of signature of military systems is of paramount importance nowadays.
Consequently, effective concealment improves stealth reconnaissance capability and surprise factor for platforms. Reducing drastically thermal/IR emissions the range at which painted platforms can be detected is also drastically reduced, further disrupting and complicating targeting efforts by enemy surveillance and strike platforms.
Modern threats require modern countermeasures while the golden rule of survivability still demands not to be seen. It's far better for the warfighter to rely on passive defense layers than being obliged to make use of weapons and active countermeasures.
Gen. Eric Smith, assistant Commandant of the US Marine Corps referred to the psychological element of fear and uncertainty " You never know when you're being tracked by an eye in the sky that's just waiting for the signal to strike. And you have to drop your signature. If you're seen, either because you radiate, or because you're physically seen, you're targeted almost immediatelly."
Brig. Gen. Beth Behn, the Army's chief of transportation with 200,000 tactical vehicles her command employs said recently " .If you can be seen, you can be targeted. And if you can be targeted, you had better be able to hide or move fast".Nothing could describe more accurately modern warfare and STEALTH becomes MORE VALUABLE than ever.
"The overall results of the project were very positive."
Defense Contractor, Sterling Heights MI, USA
"We completed our field tests at Eglin AFB...We are favorably impressed.."US Army Corps of Engineers
"I have been told that the field application of your LO coatings was very positive" US ARMY
"The Commandos who were tasked to destroy the painted tank using ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles) couldn't get to it at the required range" Land Forces
"The impression of the Intermat products are that they are robust, effective and "leading-edge" NRL, USA
"We achieved the goal, we are extremely satisfied with your solutions" Defense Systems Integrator
"Intermat coatings can be used for significant reductions in radar and thermal detectability, thus improving the survivability of the military assets to which they were applied." Defense Contractor
"The specific self-adhesive anti-thermal camouflage is a quite remarkable and interesting proposal and covered to great extent the respective operational requirements of Land Forces." Special Operations
" Performance was amazing.We couldn't believe that we couldn't "see" anything. it was really invisible." Naval Special Operations
" Of a 32-man platoon only 2 soldiers remained undetected and unmapped by the drones and thermal imagers of the "enemy troops"-one wearing GHILLIE ATGS-17, the other concealed under Intermat's stealth thermal blanket"
