Description:
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.
The objective of the proposed research is to develop these biomimetic metasurfaces in various spectral bands from RF to optics, based on various exotic physical effects, with multi-spectral operation capabilities.
