A cloaking system for an aircraft is provided. Cameras on the aircraft can detect background colors during flight. Electroluminescent paint on the aircraft can be powered on that resembles the background color. The color and luminescence of the aircraft will allow for dynamic cloaking unachievable by prior art camouflage paint colors.
