Description: The Q23 armour is the results of several years of development by Prototype Lab Q to produce an affordable stealth suit. The design features a range of clever, yet simple tricks that demonstrate the ingenuity of the lab.
One of the main features of the suit is an adaptive camouflage surface, designed to allow the wearing to work unseen. This system uses an eletrochromatic surface that can choose from 10s of thousands of patterns and an infinite variation of colour. Using sensors it will detect the brightness and colour of its surroundings and present a new camouflage pattern. As the user moves, the pattern will adapt and sometimes shift across the user in the opposite direction to the motion to blend their outline in further. (This is NOT a full stealth system. It is only capable of choosing an exception camouflage pattern, it does not make the wearer appear “invisible” against the background. If the suit suffers damage, whole portions of the suit will revert to a dark shade of grey and no longer adapt.)
The suit is sealed off. A thermovoltaic mesh system sits outside of an inner body glove. This is designed to keep the surface of the suit at the temperature of the surroundings. This will also power the suit and camouflage systems when the outside temperate is lower than the body temperature of the user. However, it will draw power and use a cooling system in the opposite condition. It is only effective from 0-45C. This leaves the outside of the suit at background temperature, negating IR sensors. The mesh is also used to interfere with common lifeform sensors that attempt to detect the bio-electric signature of living beings (this is an assumption: I cannot find a definition of how these work).
Between the camouflage and inner mesh, is the main body of the armor. A thin layer of armorweave covers the whole user. Over key areas (chest, thighs, shoulders) plastoid plates are used to provide additional protection.
