ATLANTA \u2014 The enemy can\u2019t kill what it can\u2019t see. But as the war in Ukraine has laid bare, little goes unseen on the modern battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the Army<\/a> wants to give the enemy something else to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division<\/a> teamed up with engineering students from the Georgia Tech Research Institute<\/a> for a \u201cdecoy hackathon\u201d Jan. 6-9. Army Times observed the workshop\u2019s final presentations Sunday, where participants shared their progress on projects based on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and similar infantry fighting vehicle platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soldiers and students split into three teams focused on developing cost-effective, portable solutions<\/a> to three common ways hostile forces identify Bradleys and similar vehicles \u2014 visual identification, heat signature detection and electromagnetic frequency signatures such as radio transmissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
