NOXTHERM
Noxtherm is a full-spectrum thermal and visual camouflage system. I developed it as a volunteer project for the Ukrainian army, to keep soldiers concealed from drones, optics and thermal imaging alike.

Three-layer construction combining visual camouflage with thermal signature management, available as a full body suit or a poncho, in two material variants for different budgets and conditions. Covers up to 97% of the body. Combat-tested through five iterations with many Ukrainian units.
Challenge
Thermal imaging is now standard issue, on drones, rifle scopes and handheld optics. A soldier can be spotted from the air, the ground and close range, day or night. Most thermal concealment either overheats the wearer within minutes or leaves a cold spot that's just as easy to detect.
Solution
Noxtherm blends the operator into the thermal background instead of blocking heat outright, using built-in cooling and ventilation so it can be worn all day, whether lying still on observation or moving fast under load.
