Mimetic Body Armor

The mimetic body armor functions as something of a stealth suit combined with protective layers to defend against attacks. While not terrible powerful in relation to most body armors, the special composition of the mimetic suit allows the user to avoid detection in the first place, something essential to the survivability of the terrorists who typically employ them. The suit is made of a special fabric which, when powered and instructed by a special visual sensor array, camouflages itself and the wearer by changing its appearance to mimic the backdrop against which it is set. This gives a sometimes-nauseating transparency effect to the wearer, and allows him to blend in with his surroundings without having to employ an ungainly and expensive personal cloaking device. The power cells on the suit are easily disrupted, though, and if the wearer takes any damage while the camouflage effect is active, the suit shuts down until the power cells can be recalibrated (a process taking roughly 10 minutes). The power cells can work for up to 4 hours at a time on a full charge.
