The [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor]] used by the [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]] utilizes | The UNSC has developed various technologies for the same purpose as the active camouflage; to conceal a soldier or any object from view. The most common form of this technology operates on a different principle than the active camo, using photo-reactive panels to impersonate the surrounding environment like a chameleon. A device known as the [[Camouflage Cloak]] can hide the wearer's infrared signature, beside serving as a form of camouflage. However, UNSC camouflage technology is inferior to Covenant active camouflage in many respects. | ||
The [[Semi-Powered Infiltration Armor]] used by the [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]] utilizes photo-reactive panels to conceal the wearer's infrared signature and to blend in with the surrounding environment. When combined with their natural talent and training for stealth, it can be a very effective tool. Some [[Headhunters (Team)|Headhunters]] use a prototype camouflage almost identical to the Covenant version, rendering them almost invisible, except that it only lasts 3-5 minutes and other systems have their power drained while it recharged. This feature was tested by [[ODST]]s and saw very limited use in [[2552]]. | |||
Much like the SPI armor, [[UNSC Prowler]]s use ablative panels to conceal themselves from view in addition to masking their heat signatures.
