Kallisto Shield is a passive multispectral camouflage and deception system developed by the Spanish company Kallisto AI to protect military assets against artificial‑intelligence (AI) guided drones and modern intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) networks.[1] The system uses modular panels and physical decoys to alter a platform’s visual, thermal/infrared, radar and multispectral signatures with the stated aim of confusing automated target recognition and computer‑vision models.[1][2]
Overview
editKallisto Shield is a 100% passive system that does not require power and emits no radiofrequency energy.[1] Public reporting describes rearrangeable modular panels made of different materials (aluminum, PVC, steel, etc) capable of a large number of combinations and lifelike decoys intended to replicate the signatures of real equipment.[1][2]
Development
editAccording to 2025 coverage, Kallisto AI was founded in Spain in 2022 and developed Kallisto Shield in response to compressed "sensor‑to‑shooter" timelines and persistent aerial/satellite surveillance observed in recent conflicts.[3] Reports stated that a digital‑twin of the system was evaluated over Ukrainian terrain and that prototypes were prepared for real‑world trials in Ukraine.[1][2]
Technology
editKallisto Shield consists of a structural frame supporting layered materials and modular top panels, combined with optional decoys.[1] Industry descriptions attribute the system’s approach to manipulating signatures across multiple bands and introducing occlusions and disruptive patterns intended to mislead computer‑vision attention mechanisms.[4][1]
Decoys
editValidation and simulation
editA case study by QuData describes simulation environments (including AirSim) used to test masking and evaluate performance of different computer‑vision models against Kallisto Shield configurations.[5] Separately, a partnership note indicates use of synthetic data to extend testing into infrared (IR), thermal, multispectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) domains.[6]
