at night, in front of the camera and a suitable natural background. This is unlikely to happen with a costly and somewhat secretly-specified military vehicle except in the very special situation of the technology's creator intentionally publishing initial proof-of-concept images such as this one, while non-military vehicles are unlikely ever to be so equipped. Therefore a) there is currently no alternative, free illustration; b) none is likely to be published freely in future; and c) it is unlikely anyone else could create such an image. (It may be noted that lookalikes to BAE Systems' other publicity photographs of
Adaptiv would not be so difficult to obtain, as they would not require special setup and backgrounds, though it might be some years before they could be taken e.g. at an arms fair; but this image could not be recreated in that way.)

It would be extraordinarily difficult to recreate the situation depicted, as it requires both an infrared camera/weapon sight to take the picture, and an
Adaptiv-fitted armoured vehicle; further, the vehicle would have to be directed to switch its camouflage off and on to a 'car' or similar setting,

BAE Systems in 2011 announced its 'Adaptiv' infrared camouflage technology. The frames in the image show an armoured vehicle with
Adaptiv off (left) and on (right), where the chosen object is a large car (camouflage by mimesis). The non-car parts of the image copy the background infrared pattern

The image is the first and only example of practical active image-forming camouflage (in the infrared or otherwise). It thus perfectly illustrates the potential military use of adaptive camouflage which is at once mimetic (e.g. looking like a car) and cryptic (looking like the background). The
