It is designed to shield electromagnetic emissions in the range of 0,5-50 GHz and to reduce electromagnetic field emissions by 10 at 30 dB (for those which are reflected on the fabric) and up to 100 dB (for those which pass through it). Nakidka is a ferrite-based passive shielding system first launched in the mid-2000s.

The peculiarities of the Russian 'invisibility cloak' Researchers from Russia, the United States and other major powers looked into the development of cheap radar absorption blankets that could cover vehicles, drones, planes and even warships or buildings. Radar absorbing materials were not used for aircraft, but for ground vehicles. Recognition of the need for camouflage based on radar-absorbing materials first emerged after World War II, following the creation and proliferation of guided missile systems.īetween the 1970s and 1980s, engineers conducted experiments on a new generation of radar-absorbing materials thanks to advances in chemistry, such as ferric carbonyl and ferrite coatings, foam pads or carbon nanotubes. What spurred the creation of radar-absorbing materials? In addition to tanks and armored vehicles, this absorbent three-level camouflage system also protects fortifications and various precision weapon structures from the enemy. « Several domestic engineering companies have already received the first samples of 'Nakidka' from the Scientific Institute for Steel Research to equip tanks with them», Says a press release from this versatile company.

The Russian giant Kalashnikov has announced the delivery of an anti-radar camouflage system for a number of weapons including tanks and armored vehicles.

Weapons become undetectable, as this system scrambles electromagnetic, thermal and infrared emissions. Developed by Russian Kalashnikov, this Nakidka camouflage cape provides three-level anti-radar protection for tanks, armored vehicles and fortifications.
