BAE Systems creates e-ink camo for tank armor

BAE Systems creates e-ink camo for tank armor

I have heard of stealth technology under development for years that uses some sort of cloak of invisibility reminiscent of Harry Potter.
I suppose someone wants the car that James Bond drove in Die Another Day. You know, that one that could turn completely invisible? I believe that Q summarized it as having cameras on one side that project an image on another.
This design from BAE Systems is essentially that concept, taken to a realistic level. In this case, the armor of the tank uses e-ink technology. Yes, that is the same stuff used in e-book readers like the Kindle.
