UNLIKE any other military paint, CARC and Infrared Reflective (IRR) camouflage paints, our STEALTH CAPABILITY COATING SYSTEM (SCCS) is a state-of-the-art technology coating system, an advanced Signature Management Solution which covers platform's heat emissions, the heat signature of the platform providing a decisive advantage to the user. Obviously, if a platform has less detectable heat signature it would be less visible to a sensor that "homes-in" on heat. The type of sensors that are found on an enemy DRONE, UAV, heat seeking missiles ATGMs, man portable air defense systems (MANPADS), ATMs, ATGWs and more.
The temperature discrepancy between the target and its environmental surroundings is enough for the computer of DRONES, UAVs, ATGMs to "lock-on" for a weapon to launch. Our STEALTH COATING SYSTEM (SCCS) protects against NWIR, SWIR, MWIR, LWIR sensors & weapon systems by suppressing drastically the heat signature and hence its application would save lives and make missions successfull.
It is a LIFE-SAVING "SMART" SIGNATURE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION, a FORCE MULTIPLIER!
"The tank that can find, target and hit the other from the longer range is likely to prevail in any kind of war engagement", according to defense editor for the National Interest and President of Warrior Maven-the Center for Military Modernization, Kris Osborn in his comparative analysis "Here's Why the U.S.Army M1 Abrams Might Destroy the Russian T-14 Armata" on Dec 22, 2022
The lethality of ATGMs is increasing at a much higher rate than the ability of platforms to defend themselves. The only real way in terms of armour to protect against ATGMs is to basically make the vehicles heavier.
Masking a tank's THERMAL/IR SIGNATURE makes it difficult to both detect & target it. Intermat SCCS painted tank is degraded to low-grade blurred target that fades into the background clutter through drastic reduction of its thermal radiation and emmisions, blending into its environmental surrounding like a "chameleon" very hard to get detected and targeted.
It also keeps a vehicle cooler inside as Intermat Stealth Coatings are solar reflective too.
Our Stealth Capability Coating System (SCCS) is applicable on military vehicles of all types, boats, vessels, aerial platforms, installations and strategic infrastructure, such as hangars/shelters, air-fields, bunkers, oil and gas installations, missile and radar sites, communications and command & control and more.

"Close combat on sensor-rich battlefields of the future will be faster, more violent and intensely lethal unlike anything any of us have witnessed."
-Gen.(ret.) Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army
U.S. Marine Corps Commandant, Gen. David Berger has stressed the importance of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities and in his report "Force Design 2030" states: "The hider-versus finder competition is real. Losing this competition has enormous and potentially catastrophic consequences. This makes success in the reconnaissance / counter-reconnaissance mission an imperative for success."
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."
Nothing could describe more accurately modern warfare and STEALTH becomes more valuable than ever.
Stealth is focusing in reducing the thermal contrast between a platform's signature and its background ΔΤ hence lowering the probability of platform's detection and reducing drastically the distance at which military platforms can be detected by electromagnetic systems, especially Thermal/IR systems and threats.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY: SEE - WITHOUT BEING SEEN
UNLIKE any other military paint, CARC and Infrared Reflective (IRR) camouflage paints, we provide an anti-detection & anti-targeting technology coating that protects military assets and critical infrastructure against NIGHT VISION &THERMAL weapon systems such as anti-tank missiles (ATMs, ATGMs, ATWs), missiles, UAVs, UCAVs, DRONES, Thermal Imaging Sights (TIS), FLIRs, loitering ammunitions and more.
Our stealth capability coating system is in full compliance with STANAG 4319: "Counter Surveillance Requirements for Main Battle Tanks - Infrared/Thermal Aspects 1.9 - 14 microns waveband" with the objective to minimize DT platform / background and consequently minimize detection and to degrade performance of heat seeking anti-tank missiles.
Battlefield / Warfighting advantages:

INTERMAT produces tailorable military colors in matte finish as per customer requirements and we have developed hundreds of shades from the standard military colors such as:
Desert, Sand, Khaki, Tan, Coyote, Forest Green, Olive Drab, Mud, Brown, Black, Grey, Naval Blue, White, etc.
Despite the different technology we use and the special formulation of multiple ingredients therein, Intermat Low Observable Coatings are in very close match to RAL & FS 595 color coding systems.
