National Geographic had a recent article that stated that suits for ground
forces are being tested that accomplish this. They're basically made of fiber
optic threads. The ends of the threads are carefully placed to conduct light
from one side of the suit to the other, making the soldier nearly disappear.
They aren't good enough for issue yet, it seems.


I've seen one of these in action. They're pretty darned good. In
the open, you can see a blurry human shaped outline of the suit. With
some cover, I imagine the wearer would just disappear.
