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

Kallisto 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

According 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

Kallisto 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

Public sources describe complementary decoys that mimic the heat and radar signatures of real vehicles or emit realistic spectral cues to increase adversary false positives and resource expenditure.[1][2]

Validation and simulation

A 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]

Testing and deployment

Reports in 2025 stated that digital‑twin evaluations were conducted over Ukrainian terrain and that two prototypes were being prepared for trials in Ukraine to assess performance against AI‑guided targeting.[1][2]

Reception

Trade‑press coverage has characterised Kallisto Shield as a next‑generation camouflage and deception system tailored to AI‑enabled threats, emphasising its passive nature and the use of modular panels and decoys to manipulate signatures across multiple bands.[1][3]
