SAAB presents a new urban warfare configuration of its Barracuda MCS camouflage solution 12909155.

The new urban warfare configuration builds on Saab’s well-known Barracuda MCS technology which is a tailor-made, multi-purpose covering with optimised colours, designs and properties for all environments. It enhances survivability, sustainability and logistics of vehicles and equipment, while all the time providing a ‘stealth’ or masking capability in the visual, near-infrared, thermal infrared and broadband radar wavelengths.

“This is a natural step in the development of our world leading MCS system. We have seen an increased emphasis on vehicle protection during operations in urban terrain, and this is our response. Our new Urban Warfare MCS increases a customer’s ability to operate in built-up and man-made environments where detection and engagement distances are very short. In these theatres it is vital to have a few extra seconds of decision space, when threats are literally ‘just around the corner’. We see a great future for these kinds of configurations,” says Anders Wiman, head of Saab business unit Barracuda.
