Thermal camouflage are materials and design considerations that hinder infrared detection.

"Anti-reflective coating on your vehicle increases enemy locking and tracking difficulty and decreases the time you are revealed to the enemy from being spotted." — Battlelog description

Thermal Camo is a ground vehicle specialization in Battlefield 3, the counterpart to Stealth for air vehicles. When equipped, a vehicle's thermal signature is reduced when viewing through Thermal Optics. The vehicle also becomes harder to track using guided missiles/shells, and if spotted, the mark will disappear sooner.

Vehicles using Thermal Camo have their "active spotted time" reduced by 66% and their "passive spotted time" reduced by 99%. Weapon lock takes 60% longer to achieve.

Thermal Camo does not completely prevent heatseeking weaponry from working—such vehicles are still vulnerable to attack.
