Objective
InfraHex develops advanced multispectral camouflage systems designed to disrupt thermal, infrared (NIR–SWIR–LWIR), visible and electromagnetic (EMI) detection. As the battlefield evolves with AI-powered surveillance, swarming drones, and hyperspectral imaging, conventional camouflage systems are becoming obsolete. InfraHex responds to this urgent technological shift with hybrid multilayer textile laminates combining metalised fabrics, electrospun nanofibres, low-emissivity pigments, and AI-optimised concealment patterns. Our system significantly reduces detectability across key spectral bands and is designed to remain effective even under adverse weather, movement, or partial exposure.
Initially developed for NATO special forces, the solution has strong dual-use potential: from civil protection teams, drone pilots and infrastructure guards to wildfire fighters and energy grid operators exposed to heat or drone-based threats. With climate-induced disasters and geopolitical tensions rising, multispectral concealment is no longer limited to defense—it is a resilience-enabling technology.
InfraHex is a deep tech scale-up based in a Widening country, with validated prototypes (TRL5), field trials by defense units, and early B2G/B2B traction. Our goal is to use this programme to fine-tune the remaining technological layers, expand testing against emerging AI-based threat models, and validate full-system integration (poncho, ghillie, scrim, tarp/net). This includes lab testing (IR attenuation, EMI shielding, RET/breathability) and tactical validation in collaboration with end-users.
We bring a unique combination of EU-based material sovereignty, patent-backed technology (PV2024-253), and a product vision that bridges defense and civil resilience. Pre-Accelerator support will help us accelerate final development, integrate AI-driven adaptation, and pilot next-gen anti-AI detection shielding - keeping Europe ahead in the camouflage race.
