That'll disrupt the patterns, which is good. I'm thinking, though, about
guarding against observation by passive IR - if you can't stand in front
of a body-heat background, you will be visibly radiating. There are
things that can be done about this - thick uniforms, cooling units
linked to heat-sinks - but they're short-term solutions at best. I
suspect that only something like powered armour will be sufficiently
sealed to get reliably to ambient temperature... though with sufficient
tech many of these problems could be solved.
