ProApto RECONDOR  is a VIS - NIR - TIR multispectral and multipurpose anti-drone counter-thermal cloak, designed to offer camouflage in static and dynamic use. Its primary feature is the ability to rapidly emulate the ambient temperature while dynamically adapting to temperature variations. This capability significantly enhances camouflage effectiveness, allowing the user to consistently blend into the surroundings.

As with all ProApto multispectral (anti-thermal) camouflage systems, RECONDOR is breathable and does not insulate the user, in accordance with ProApto’s proprietary patent. It is silent in movement and suitable for amphibious operations. The cloak does not release harmful chemicals or nanoparticles and can be washed without degrading its multispectral performance. On average, it weighs between 900g (for the multipurpose cloak – 130cm x 200cm) and 1.3kg (with the addition of a detachable hood and face cover). It can be packed into a compact 15x15x30cm bag.

 

RECONDOR is available in several variations, including a waterproof version rated at 8000mm hydrostatic pressure, with breathability exceeding 26,000 g/m²/24 hr (MVTR). A reversible, double-sided option featuring two different camouflage patterns is also available. Depending on the configuration, the total weight ranges from 800g (lightest version) up to 1.6kg (with the addition of 3D elements). RECONDOR can be manufactured in all 18 ProApto 2D VIS and NIR camouflage patterns.

 

The system is designed to be worn over a soldier’s gear, making thermal camouflage most effective when used with full equipment. The poncho can also be extended with limb covers to form the ProApto OCCULTOR Suit. Additionally, multiple RECONDOR units can be connected to conceal observation posts or small vehicles.
