01

Adversarial Deception

Hiding soldiers from enemy drones

Corvus patterns are designed to reduce confidence in AI-based object detection and classification, helping personnel avoid reliable machine-vision targeting.

  • Adversarial QR / barcode-style visual noise.
  • Reflective and absorptive material concepts.
  • Interchangeable inserts and rapid pattern updates.
  • Passive protection without RF emissions or batteries.

Friend-or-Foe Identification

Higher strategic value

The same insert architecture can be inverted: selected visual signatures may support allied autonomous systems in recognising friendly personnel and protected assets.

  • Blue-force recognition layer for autonomous systems.
  • Rotatable and replaceable visual pattern architecture.
  • Complements existing RF/transponder IFF concepts.
  • Potential shared standard across allied users.
