regarding the thermal camo:
very neat idea, and it will certainly work if you are against a background without any clear delineations, or if your observers are stationary and known.
but if you are trying to hide against a highly mobile viewer (think those wonderful little drones the US is so fond of), than parallax and skew are not your friend.
So there is limited utility to showing up as a car/truck/something else.
Also, where are they dumping waste heat?
But still, a cool tech none the less.
