- Description
- The US Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center anticipates a need to demonstrate a color changing paint to use on aircraft or vehicles as a deception or camouflage mechanism. Additionally, color changing paint could redu ce the need for paint removal and repainting required by a change in theater terrain. The desired paint should be capable of color change during mission performance (e.g., changing from gray to sky blue or from desert tan to forest green). There are many n on-controllable approaches to altering paint color (such as by external light sources or viewing angles), but the need is for a controllable method. Examples of controllable methods could include temperature or electrical current. Organizations, suppliers and academic institutions interested in developing this technology using existing facilities, or that have had previous research efforts and demonstrations of like technologies should respond. Responses should be as detailed as possible. This is a market survey requesting information only. No solicitation will be issued against this notice. Interested sources should provide supporting documentation NLT 01July2005 to: AMSRD-AMR-SE-MT (Mr. Scott Hofacker, PE) Bldg. 5400, Room S240, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898.
