Night vision devices of all types are becoming more and more popular in the civilian market They are getting cheaper and cheaper, and while still expensive, they are in more hands than ever before. With that in mind, it might be wise to consider means to counter some of these technologies. Today we are going to look at a few methods to counter thermals. Like most forms of camouflage, none are perfect.
Think of it this way. These forms of camouflage are a lot like a flashlight. A white bright light will make you a beacon, but if you cover that light with a red filter, then you'd reduce your noticeable signature. Sure it's not as great as turning the light off, but unfortunately, you can't turn an opponent's thermals off.
