Wescom Defence is preparing to launch its innovative ATMIS Multispectral Camouflage (ATMIS MSC) portfolio at the Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition in London in 2025, bringing a cutting-edge concealment system to the forefront of military technology.
This next-generation solution is crafted to provide armed forces with a vital tactical advantage in today’s increasingly complex and contested operational environments. As modern warfare continues to evolve, the ability to evade detection across multiple spectrums—visual, infrared, and thermal—has become a critical requirement for success. The ATMIS MSC system meets this demand by incorporating advanced signature management techniques that effectively reduce visibility, enabling troops to operate with enhanced stealth and efficiency. This unveiling represents a key step forward in improving battlefield survivability and mission outcomes for military forces worldwide. The development of ATMIS MSC stems from the expertise of BCB International, a company well-known for its work in camouflage and survival gear.
In January 2025, BCB International was acquired by Wescom Group, a strategic move that paved the way for the creation of this advanced camouflage technology. This acquisition merged BCB International’s specialised knowledge with Wescom Group’s extensive resources, resulting in a system that blends proven multispectral protection with practical, field-ready designs. David Griffiths, Vice President of Defence Sales at Wescom Defence, noted the value of this collaboration: “The integration of BCB International into Wescom Group has enabled us to deliver a truly world-class camouflage capability. By combining proven protection across multiple spectrums with adaptable, field-ready configurations, ATMIS MSC gives forces the tactical edge required for modern operations and emerging threats.”
This partnership has produced a solution that not only addresses current military needs but also prepares forces for future challenges. The ATMIS MSC portfolio is built around a range of flexible and modular components, each designed to meet the specific needs of different operational scenarios, whether for static positions, mobile units, or individual soldiers. Among the standout products is ATMIS Flex, a lightweight multispectral fabric that offers effective camouflage while remaining easy to deploy across a variety of applications, from personal use to covering equipment. Another key offering, ATMIS Crinkle, features a 3D-textured material that mimics natural terrain, helping to break up the outlines of soldiers or vehicles and allowing them to blend into their surroundings.
The MK8 3D Leafed system further enhances this capability with layered, leaf-like patterns that interfere with enemy sensors, proving especially effective in environments where standard camouflage might not suffice. Together, these products provide a versatile and comprehensive approach to concealment, enabling forces to adapt quickly to a wide range of mission demands. Alongside the ATMIS MSC range, Wescom Defence will present the Combat Net Defence System (CNDS) at DSEI 2025. This system combines multispectral camouflage with high-strength materials such as Dyneema and aramid, delivering scalable concealment and physical protection against an array of modern threats, including drone strikes, loitering munitions, and thermal imaging systems. The CNDS goes beyond mere invisibility by offering a dual function—hiding forces from detection while also shielding them from battlefield hazards.
This combination of stealth and resilience makes it an essential tool for military units operating in high-threat environments, where both concealment and durability are paramount to survival and success. All products within the ATMIS MSC lineup are engineered to comply with NATO standards, ensuring they meet the rigorous operational requirements of allied forces across the globe. This commitment to quality guarantees that the systems are not only effective but also robust and adaptable for use in diverse field conditions. Whether deployed in dense forests, arid deserts, or urban settings, ATMIS MSC products are designed to endure harsh environments while maintaining their camouflage properties. The modular design of the system allows for rapid customization based on mission specifics, giving troops the flexibility to adjust their concealment strategies as circumstances change. This adaptability is a crucial asset in modern warfare, where quick responses to shifting conditions can determine the outcome of an operation.
Attendees at DSEI 2025 will have the chance to witness the capabilities of ATMIS MSC firsthand during a live demonstration at Stand N3-305, where Wescom Defence will showcase its full range of camouflage and concealment solutions. This event will offer a practical look at how these systems perform in simulated operational settings, providing insight into the future of military stealth technology. As a global supplier of pyrotechnics and energetics, with operations spanning the UK, Germany, and Spain, Wescom Defence has a long-standing reputation for delivering dependable and forward-thinking solutions to allied armed forces.
