A friend of Hopkinton Vets, David Accetta, from the "Natick Army Labs" will fulfill repeat performance requests, and present innovative developments in body armor, helmets, load carriage, and new uniforms including their capabilities relating to low infrared reflectivity and Permethrin insect prevention treatment. A recent Army Times article described how the Army and the Marines are working with manufacturers to build new "cloaking" technology into camouflage. There are requirements to conceal uniforms across the electromagnetic spectrum. Some sensors pick up signatures invisible to the naked eye. Multispectral camouflage can better conceal against sensor surveillance.
