Defense company Saab supplies Barracuda camouflage systems to more than 45 countries around the world. Saab’s range includes camouflage systems designed to camouflage both personnel and all types of military equipment. The greatest popularity in the world was won by camouflage systems designed to hide military equipment.

Saab has over 60 years of experience in advanced camouflage systems. Saab Barracuda’s mobile camouflage system MCS (Mobile Camouflage System) is designed primarily for the protection of military equipment during movement and combat. When developing materials for camouflage systems, Saab necessarily conducts signature analysis – the process of actively evaluating how military assets will be displayed on sensors. This analysis is an important part of the camouflage development process.

Saab camouflage complexes provide unobtrusive multi-spectral protection by reducing the visibility of military equipment in the ultraviolet, visual and infrared spectrum, as well as in the screens of thermal cameras and radars. In addition, the Barracuda MCS not only reduces the thermal footprint of the equipment, but also protects it from external heating.

Camouflage creation decisions are made after carefully considering how the targeted enemy will see groups of assets on the field. The company’s laboratories are developing new materials and camouflage concepts using complex physical and chemical models.

The Barracuda MCS camouflage is a multi-layer modular system that can be easily installed on armored vehicles. If necessary, it can be quickly removed or replaced with a similar masking with a different color. This is a relief camouflage fabric with elements of green and brown in various shades.

MCS with integrated temperature reduction system (CoolCam) effectively reduces the heat build-up from solar radiation and ambient heat during operation in hot climates, radically lowers the internal temperature of the machine, creating better conditions for both personnel and electronic equipment. It also prevents dust from entering and the filter is designed to manage airflow around the machine to optimize engine and chassis service intervals.
