Artificially Intelligent Biomimetic Metasurfaces for Electromagnetic Camouflage$1.5Mvalue2019start2022end

The project aims to mimic the camouflaging abilities of an octopus using artificial means and apply this technology in a defence and security context to conceal personnel and military platforms behind a real-time reconfigurable un-detectability veil, thus sending illusions and misinformation to adversaries.

Artificially Intelligent Biomimetic Metasurfaces for Eloctromagnetic Camouflage$1.5Mvalue2019start2023end

A novel technology for detection avoidance of military personal and platforms is proposed by taking inspiration from octopus camouflaging strategy, where they tune their spectral signature to that of their surroundings to become effectively invisible. Their sensing, processing and reconfiguring capability will be mimicked using engineered electromagnetic (EM) metasurfaces. These reconfigurable metasurfaces will be equipped with smart sensing networks for environment monitoring and autonomous decision making powers based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), i.e. a biomimetic metasurface.
