* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', ECS mode for 3rd generation Arm Slaves. Tessa's M6A1 also had ECS despite being 2nd-gen. [[The Other Wiki]] states that ECS is based on an array of rapidly oscillating lasers. The first models only shielded against infrared but the newest stuff works against optics as well—with the trade-off of having a strong ozone smell, attracting birds and freaking out dogs.
:ECCS sensors can see through the camouflage and rain makes it completely useless. It is implied that ECS draws lots of power since every time we see it in use, the Arm Slave in question is either sneaking or standing still (which is a bit strange, seeing that 3rd-gen AS units have cold fusion reactors with nearly three times higher wattage than their 2nd-gen cousins, yet both carry ECS).

* In ''[[Elf Blood]]'', the punk Scout uses one to escape from the Renegades after he tosses a grenade at them.
* In ''[[Far From Home]]'', the pirates have a device that makes them only appear on the scanner.
* In ''[[Girl Genius]]'' "stealth cloaks" are used by Smoke Knights, but probably not limited to them. They are imperfect: high-end thinking engines like [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080901 Castle Heterodyne] or a [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160530 Muse] and very observant people [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150410 (like Bang)] notice distortions, and tend to consider these annoying. The large-scale ones [https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20171127 produce distortions] noticeable with uneven background.

* If you made a cloak out of a lot of tiny cameras and screens, it should be possible to get the invisibility effect while still being able to see the outside on a screen inside the cloak. It would be ridiculously fragile, though.
* BAE Systems is developing an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pftna34TbJU adaptive infrared camouflage system] that makes vehicles blend with the background IR of the environment, making them practically invisible when viewed with IR cameras.
