adaptive camouflage
Environment-matching disguise system
Adaptive camouflage is concealment that changes to match its surroundings.
In nature, creatures like octopuses and cuttlefish alter their skin color and texture in real time.
The term also describes military technology that adjusts patterns or colors to blend with different environments: The soldiers' uniforms featured adaptive camouflage that shifted from desert tan to forest green.
