This research reveals innovative meta-textile achieving multispectral stealth in visible and infrared regions, indicating potential for military applications.
Achieving multi‐spectral stealth across visible and infrared (VIS‐IR) bands is crucial for military and national defense security in diverse environments. However, the coordination of spectrally selective thermal radiation with angle‐insensitive color modulation in flexible architectures remains a significant challenge. Herein, we present a chromatic meta‐textile enabling flexible VIS‐IR multispectral stealth. The stochastic fiber structure with embedded colorants provides wide‐gamut coloration, exhibiting negligible color difference between stealth film and different backgrounds as low as 0.4 L * a * b . Simultaneously, the architecture achieves ultralow emissivity (ε = 0.1) in mid‐wave infrared (MWIR, 3–5 μm) and long‐wave infrared (LWIR, 8–14 μm) bands for infrared stealth, while maintaining high emissivity (ε = 0.58) in the 5–8 μm nonatmospheric window to enable passive radiative cooling. This design features excellent VIS wide‐angle compatibility and optical durability, enabling effective stealth in various environments. This integrated multispectral stealth capability, combined with inherent mechanical flexibility and omnidirectional optical stability, positions the structure as a promising solution for next‐generation VIS‐IR compatible stealth systems.
