Unfortunately, the arms race to create a camouflage pattern that would work was doomed to failure. In 2012, The Daily called it the "5 billion dollar snafu" (SNAFU is an acronym that literally translates to "situation under control: everything is heading to..."). The above race, officially called the Army's Camouflage Improvement Effort, solicited camouflages from hundreds of designers from which four finalists were selected. Four years (and millions of dollars) later, the Army appears to have decided on a winner.
Four final camouflages have been createdBrookwoodCryPrecisionKryptek andA.D.S.Inc. WithGuyCramer
The delays did not stop there. By latest rumors decided to cancel the entire camouflage masquerade. However, the Army simply accepted MultiCam, a digital camouflage pattern made by Crye Precision, as a stopgap option, thereby acknowledging that universal camouflage did not work as intended.
The tale takes a long time to tell, but it doesn’t take long for the deed to be done. In December, Congress introduced a bill that would block the entire Army if it did not adopt a new camouflage design. By 2018, the same bill would block the entire Department of Defense. Politicians seem tired of wasting money on endless problems. Press secretary William Laer, in response to questions about what was happening, could only say that “the army is weighing various options and taking into account legal restrictions.”
Buried among the accusations of incompetence and bureaucratic red tape is the fact that military technology is developing extremely quickly, and no one can predict for sure what kind of camouflage will be needed tomorrow. The growing field of military science, despite all the dust in our eyes, is still very young. And billions of dollars thrown down the drain do not bring the expected effect.
History of Invisibility
Modern camouflages have relatively short story. When modern warfare began (18th century), that is, when the long-range rifle appeared, dark green or gray camouflages came into fashion. By the beginning of the First World War full height experimented with “blinding”, that is, making it difficult to catch a target, then a ship, at a distance. Soon the technology was widely used by people.
World War I soldier, 1917
At the dawn of World War II, the distinctive modern camouflages with kidney-shaped spots emerged and quickly spread throughout the world. By the end of the war, artists were even experimenting with optical models that could trick the eye, borrowing ideas from Cubism and Op Art.
In the late 1970s, the US Army introduced a new and unpopular pattern called "double texture", which marked the beginning of the "digital" camouflage of today. Dual-Tex used perfect colored squares to imitate two patterns at once: one large and one large, effective at different distances.
World War II Soldier
By 1990, the development of patterns on the computer began, and with it the revival of scientific research. American officer Timothy O'Neill, "grandfather modern camouflage", developed small colored squares on camouflage that could deceive the eye looking at a soldier or truck by blending them into the background scene.
Why do pixels work better than traditional bubbles? Because pixels are better at simulating fractal patterns, which our eyes interpret as white noise. If you look at such “digital” camouflage, your eyes simply have nothing to fixate on.
Dual-tex camouflage
However, the eye is a complex anatomical object, and it is simply impossible to recreate one optical trick for millions of soldiers in an infinite number of conditions. As a result, a cottage industry of independent contractors and engineers grew, with each submitting their own unique camouflage design, including the four finalists in the competition.
Find the people in the photo below.
Some of these companies declined to comment when Gizmodo indicated it wanted to talk to them, likely because the announcement of the winner is still a while away. However, Guy Kramer, CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp., designer of camouflage for the armies in Jordan and Afghanistan, and one of the four finalists in the competition, was kind enough to answer some questions.
Taking advantage of visual impairments
As Kramer explained, digital camouflages attempt to use advanced optical tricks to confuse the brain and release the body from the target, rather than simply "blend" it into the surrounding scenery. "You can't just throw paint on a wall and call it camouflage," he says. “We're not trying to create randomness. We want the brain to interpret the pattern as part of the background."
This kind of visual trickery is a difficult task. It includes ideas about the science of color, the anatomy of the human eye, and even the logistics of creating a pattern. And she's still not perfect. Let's look at the most interesting failure American army: UCP.
Actually,UCP
All digital camouflages consist of two layers: micropatterns (pixels) and macropatterns (shapes of combining pixels). If the scale of the macropatterns is too small - as happened with the UCP - an optical phenomenon called isolumination will occur, the coloring of a carefully constructed camouflage pattern into a mass bright color. In other words, such a suit can be easily seen from a distance. As you can see, this has become one of the UCP's biggest problems.
What about color? In 2004, when the U.S. Army introduced the UCP, it was discovered that there was not a drop of black in the entire pattern. The fact is that black does not occur in nature - this is how they explained official representatives. But Kramer completely disagrees. Black and brown are needed to simulate shadow. Kramer's final painting in the competition included a "brightness edge", a thin black line along macro and micro patterns that tricks the eye by hiding shapes.
"If you don't have at least a percentage of that in the camo, it will look flat because there's no depth effect," Kramer explained. - “It was a good lesson.”
Economies of Scale
There are now more than half a million soldiers in the US Army, and printing and sewing a uniform for each of them is in itself a challenging task. It is also important that the camouflage “breaks up” the contour of the soldier’s body in places such as the wrists, knees and ankle joints.
Like the tiger's stripes running perpendicular to their limbs, these visual "breaks" help hide the anatomy of the human target. When a roll of camouflage fabric is cut into millions of uniforms, it can be difficult to predict exactly where those splits will end up.
Example of isolumination
In addition, our brains are very good at recognizing patterns - if we see the same shape twice, we immediately know that something has happened. It is extremely important that the left and right parts of a single picture do not coincide. “A lot of patterns have this problem,” Kramer says. “The brain will see an abnormality on the right side of the chest, and if it sees a very similar pattern on the left side of the chest, it will immediately connect the dots and say, now I can see the upper part of the human body.”
The same brightness limit
Part of Kramer's success was due to his ability to create patterns that met all of these complex criteria. He is a pioneer in the field of algorithmic camouflage design. Instead of relying on his own brain to design patterns, he wrote a program that generates real geometric fractals. Fractals are mathematical patterns that repeat at any scale.
That's why Kramer's patterns were used on everything from rifles to helicopters (not to mention 2.5 million uniforms). Because they scale, they are capable of hiding both a person and an entire building.
All kinds of tests
The art of testing these patterns is almost always more important than the design itself—a process Kramer knows well, having spent a decade helping the Army test patterns. This includes confusing the army's best snipers with thousands of photographs.
At the US Military Academy at West Point, subjects, including top snipers with perfect or better vision, viewed slide after slide of camouflaged soldiers in different environments. A huge number of images. From deserts to swamps, any weather conditions, any distance to the target (the pattern should be equally good). Statistics showed that there were 900 subjects, 45 environments, and 120,000 data points.
An important part of the testing process was not only the speed of identifying a visual anomaly, but also the speed of determining the location where the soldier was actually lying. Milliseconds of decision making can make a difference, given that the average sniper takes 12 to 30 seconds to identify a target.
Step by step
At the end of August, a team of American special forces was suddenly sent away from Libya. The fact is that a group of terrorists stole dozens of guns and devices from trucks. How will this affect camouflage? Maximum.
Along with machine guns and lasers, the raiders stole a device that could ultimately cause as much damage as the first two types of devices: special night vision goggles that detect short-wave infrared light - in the SWIR spectrum. Costing $45,000 apiece, the glasses allow soldiers to see down to 1 micron wavelength, where colors merge into a white mass. In other words, it makes camouflage completely useless. The only pair was kept safe in the hands of the US Army. No more.
"Now the bad guys are running around with the same technology," Kramer explains.
Related questions have arisen: since the enemies have changed supply chains military equipment, the US Army can't be sure that those guys are seeing exactly what the US Army wants to see.
We've come a long way from the stone gray or field camouflage of the 19th century. We even managed to move away from the colors of the 60-70s, when with one pattern it was possible to solve many conflicts in ten years. Modern weapons changes extremely quickly, and even when the Ministry of Defense takes one model for consideration, there is no guarantee that a new one will not appear next year.
However, many interesting concepts are in development, including those using metamaterials, which we have written a lot about. Here, for example, is a project from Hyperstealth called Quantum Stealth, which we may talk about later.
And there is another project that, unfortunately, its creators cannot discuss.

Camouflage fabric is a fabric of a special color that allows you to “break” the silhouette of an object (object or person) covered with it, and make it less noticeable or distort its shape and pattern of movement.
The fabric borrowed this property from nature - many species of animals, birds and fish have a protective color, with the help of which they become less vulnerable to enemies or less noticeable to a potential victim. Also, almost all animals have color and surface structure (and sometimes body shape) that are in harmony with their environment.
Translated from French camouflage ( camouflage) means "disguise".
The use of camouflage began in ancient times. Thus, for hunting, American Indians made clothes from animal skins or attached leaves and grass to their bodies.
Camouflage fabrics began to be used as military equipment relatively recently - at the end of the 19th century. British colonial troops in India began wearing khaki (meaning "khaki" in Hindi). dusty"). This is a color of earthy brown, yellow-green “dusty” shades. Since then, this color has been used in military uniforms in almost all countries of the world as a type of camouflage.
Varieties of camouflage and colors
Further for each area and depending on the season and weather conditions created its own colors. It involves not only a suitable shade, but also a certain pattern. Main in large groups are waterproof camouflage fabric “Forest”,“Jungle”, “Desert”, “Winter”, “City”, “Summer” camouflage.
First spotted camouflage The military costume (chameleon) was created and patented in 1939 by the artist Vladimir Baranov-Rossine.
In the USSR before the Second World War, the Amoeba color scheme was used - a khaki or green background with black or dark brown spots.
The modern camouflage colors of the Russian Armed Forces are “Digital Flora” or “Pixel”. It was created in 1984. Outwardly, it looks like a configuration of pixels from a monitor screen, enlarged many times, applied to fabric. Tone from light green to dark brown. This pattern does not allow the eye to “catch” on an object and determine its shape, distance, and movement. For video surveillance systems or photographic equipment, a person in this form will be just a blurry spot.
Properties
In addition to masking properties camouflage fabrics must have characteristics that also meet the conditions in which they are used. The main ones are:
- strength;
- high hygienic qualities;
- waterproof;
- windproof properties;
- resistance to external influences (UV radiation, high temperatures, salty water, chemical weapon etc.).
All these indicators vary depending on specific needs.
summer camouflage: “TC” fabric
What material to choose from
The basis for applying a camouflage pattern is usually synthetic or mixed fabrics. They can be of different densities.
Oxford
It is mainly used for sewing jackets, suits, and tents. Consists of polyester or nylon. It has a characteristic fabric texture - in a square - due to the interlacing of matting threads. Clothing made from Oxford is durable, does not blow out and retains heat, and is resistant to chemicals.
Rip stop
Tear-resistant fabric. Even if a cut or puncture occurs on it, it will not tear further. This property camouflage fabric has thanks to polyester threads that pass through cotton base and form a kind of reinforced lattice. At the same time, clothing made from this material remains quite light, breathes well, and does not allow water to pass through when using special impregnations. Jackets, raincoats, backpacks and tents are also made from it.
Greta
This is a mixed camouflage fabric It has gained popularity due to the fact that it is woven in such a way that the reverse side is made of cotton, and the front part consists of polyester fibers. This way the clothes remain soft and pleasant to the body inside, absorb sweat, dry quickly, and repel dirt and water.
Polarfleece
For winter types of camouflage, polyester fiber is used, woven in such a way that air chambers remain inside it. The top of such material can be finished with water-repellent impregnation or duplicated with another material. Polar fleece provides excellent warmth, is easy to clean, and weighs little.
Sorochechnaya
T-shirts, T-shirts and thin trousers in camouflage colors are made from a mixture of cotton or viscose and polyester. Such lightweight products have good hygienic properties, are practical and comfortable.
Membrane
Also in civilian and military equipment they use a membrane with a camouflage pattern applied on top. Membrane clothing is easy to move and protects well from cold, wind and rain. From above it does not allow moisture to pass through, but it removes all body evaporation well, so the clothes underneath always remain dry and the person does not freeze.
After making the fabric, a background of the desired shade is applied to it, and after that the stains are applied. When determining the composition of dyes, reflection indicators are taken into account. For each area, the geometric structure of the spots, their shades and saturation are individual and are calculated by specialists.
Areas of application
- The main areas of application of camouflage fabrics were and remain the army and the military industry. They are still used for sewing military uniform for many military units, as well as covering covers for special equipment.
- Also, such materials are actively used for the production of protective, uniform and workwear, suits and equipment (backpacks, tents, shoes and hats) for fishermen, hunters, and tourists.
- Thanks to its non-marking colors, it is widely used as outer work clothing for construction workers. Sometimes supplemented with reflective elements.
- In the entertainment industry, camouflage is used to produce clothing for military sports games (paintball, airsoft, etc.).
- In the 60s of the last century in the United States, military camouflage became fashionable among the civilian population. Initially, the goal was to attract the attention of the population and protest against wars. Interest in such clothes quickly faded away, but was revived in the 80s and since then they have regularly appeared in the fashion collections of popular designers. Jackets, raincoats, coats, sweaters and accessories (scarves, bags) in the military style are made from camouflage. For this purpose, softer and more comfortable materials are used, such as knitwear, jeans, silk, and wool. In addition to the military “protective” colors in Everyday life Other types of camouflage are also popular: leopard and zebra. A less aggressive style is the “safari” style; it also uses all shades of the first camouflage pattern - khaki.
Camouflage fabric is an indispensable material in military affairs, serving as protection for people and equipment. It has also firmly established itself in the fashion world and, together with the appropriate accessories, helps create unique looks for men’s, women’s and even children’s wardrobes.
One of the very popular methods of car tuning today is painting it in camouflage. Military style motifs are becoming more and more relevant in design solutions for various trends, apparently due to the fact that it fully reflects the modern pulse of life. If you look at it, camouflage on a car can serve two opposing purposes. On a hunter's or fisherman's car, this is a means of camouflaging vehicles in the wild. In a peaceful city, such a color is a way to stand out, attract attention, and show your style and worldview. Cars in camouflage look stern and brutal, arousing respect and admiration.
Custom car painting - camouflage
Like any other pattern, camouflage may well carry an aesthetic meaning or be a purely functional means of camouflage. Depending on the assigned tasks and types of terrain, the vehicle may be coated with different kinds camouflage - they will be discussed below.
Geometric camouflage
The geometric (or chopped) look was created in order not so much to hide the object, but to break its silhouette into sections with chopped geometric shapes different shapes and size. Being painted in this way, the car is very difficult to visual assessment in terms of actual size and shape. Typically the colors used here are white, gray and black.
Originally created for military purposes, this pattern is very popular among designers today. By adding areas with an unexpected color, for example, blue, pink or purple, you can create very aesthetically interesting car color options.
Geometric camouflage on cars Pixel art
Pixel (or digital) camouflage is visually similar to the arrangement of pixels on a computer monitor. It is also called “destructive” - it blurs the silhouette of the car, hiding its movement on the ground. When it comes to camouflage, there are special instructions that determine the ratio of spots of different colors. The colors themselves are determined based on the area in which the object operates.
Pixel art can be used in urban areas, in mountains or deserts, as well as in some types of forests. For rocky mountains and urban areas, gray-white and black are used.
Sand-colored spots are appropriate in the desert, that's obvious. For forest areas, green with brown, black colors are chosen.
Pixel art on a car Forest view
The most common pattern among those who camouflage a car for functional purposes is forest. The dominant color here is green and its different shades. Brown and black colors are added to it. The forest pattern uses flowing lines and soft transitions to blend seamlessly with the forest foliage.
Those who use this design for purely aesthetic purposes can make it in any colors: acidic, purple, pink, etc. It all depends on taste and flight of fancy.
Car camouflage painting - forest look Winter drawing
It is quite natural that there are types of camouflage for a car in snowy winter conditions. It prevails here White color, to which gray-blue stains are added. The winter version can be made both in the form of smooth lines and transitions, and in a “chopped” design.
Sometimes black can be added to a winter pattern - smooth dark spots and lines dilute the white and mask well if the snow cover is not solid.
As a rule, this variety has a purely practical value - few people choose it for the aesthetics of the car and self-expression. Most often it is in demand among hunters living in northern regions countries. Sometimes white camouflage used by those who like to hunt in winter time, and who is not too lazy to change for this appearance your car.
Winter camouflage Hunting civilian camouflage
Varieties of patterns have been developed for hunters that have nothing to do with the military style. This is a solid foliage background of green or gray-yellow color. This option looks very stylish on jeeps - it seems like it was created just for them. There are pattern options that imitate jungle, coniferous and deciduous forests, grass cover of steppes and savannas.
This color looks very stylish and is both an excellent means of camouflage and a stylish design solution for car styling.
Car painting - “hunting” camouflage Desert Storm
One of the very common varieties is the desert pattern. It prevails here yellow and various variations on its theme. Simulates a sandy surface. These can be smooth transitions, lines and a digital pixel version.
This pattern is quite often used in regions where there are sandy deserts. You can decorate your car in such a style that it feels harmonious in the context of the surrounding landscape.
Desert Storm car camouflage Type of varnish
Two types of varnish can be used to varnish camouflage vehicles:
- with a glossy effect;
- with a matte effect.
If camouflage color interests you in a practical sense, then glossy varnish is definitely not suitable. The shine of the body in no way contributes to effective camouflage. Therefore, if you are a hunter, fisherman or military man, do not hesitate to use only a matte finish for your car.
If you are interested in a design effect, rely on your taste. It all depends on your preferences and tastes. Both glossy shine and matte restraint are allowed. But if you want to create the image of a brutal adventurer, then you should still give up glossy varnish.
Conclusion
Camouflaging a car can pursue different, sometimes completely opposite, goals. This may be the desire to camouflage a car while hunting a wild animal, for example. Or, conversely, the desire to stand out from the crowd, to look cool and stylish.
There are many varieties and variations of camouflage patterns. They are created for different conditions, landscapes and produce different visual representations.
When choosing the type of pattern for styling your car, first of all, decide what goals you are pursuing. And only after that decide to choose one or another pattern.
Camouflage is camouflage. Camouflage allows you to hide an object or person in natural conditions due to visual changes in color and shape. That is why they strive to make clothing for the military, as well as for hunters, from materials that imitate the color of natural objects.
The camouflage effect of camouflage is achieved due to the fact that with correctly selected colors and patterns, an object with clearly defined contours is broken down into a chaotic accumulation of spots, some of which will be a natural color for the area, while others will simply be lost among the general background.
The right camouflage shade is one that matches the shades prevailing in a particular area. That is, each of the colors of spotted camouflage used must correspond to the prevailing colors of the territory where it will be used (taking into account their seasonal changes) - then the desired effect will be achieved, and the person or object will not be visible.
Using the wisdom of nature
Observing the behavior of animals, how they appear and disappear seemingly from nowhere, the man realized that the best option passive protection becomes precisely correct selection clothes and their colors. This is how the development of special camouflage for military purposes and hunting began.
Just like animal skins, it may have different colors and shades. It all depends on the terrain in which it will be used. Thus, it is reasonable for security, riot police and any units working in urban conditions to be disguised in shades of asphalt and concrete, and therefore the urban uniform has predominantly gray tones.
It is better to use in forests and fields green camouflage, in deserts - yellowish and so on. If a unit is planning to be sent to fight in any specific conditions, and the terrain is known in advance, they usually try to issue camouflage in the appropriate shades so that its use is appropriate. In many cases, this form is used together with special paints for the face, which help blur its contours - as a rule, it is the head that unmasks a person, since its outlines are too recognizable.
Some camouflage patterns:
Sometimes, in addition to camouflage, local plants are also used to make the camouflage more realistic - they can be attached directly to clothing. This practice is often used by snipers who occupy a static position - the person even camouflages the weapon so that the shine does not give it away. And as a result, it completely merges with the terrain, turns out to be a natural part of it, is perceived as a small bump, or remains completely invisible. Camouflage nets and other auxiliary camouflage elements also perfectly help hide both people and objects on the ground.
Natural camouflage
Nature itself taught this method of passive defense. Many animals do not run away at the sight of a predator, but simply hide and successfully avoid the threat:
| Moth can spend daytime on a tree trunk and literally disappear against the background of the bark, invisible to birds and insectivorous animals. | Deer and other animals can also successfully camouflage themselves in grass or leaf litter that hides them. | |||
 |
|
|||
| Predators also use similar means - among the sun-scorched grass, bushes and branches, they instantly dissolve. | The hare molts twice a year to match the color of the area - for the same purposes. | |||

How does camouflage work?
An important aspect of the advisability of using camouflage is not only the color, but also the size of the spots, as well as their relative position. It’s ideal when they allow you to not only blur, but also break, literally “break” a person’s silhouette. Completely distorted body contours do not allow the enemy’s vision to “assemble” the silhouette anew, and even the most developed imagination and intuition turn out to be useless.
Camouflage is, of course, very useful, but when using it, a person must also know in what conditions it will work especially effectively. Natural shadow helps to break the silhouette into shades and spots - the lack of light and additional spotting together create an ideal camouflage.
Also, a person who wants to remain invisible should not make sudden movements, and, if possible, try not to move at all. You should not give yourself away through sounds (talking, coughing, sneezing), smells (tobacco, perfume) or any other means. If you need to move, you should use natural shelters, not move at full height, and periodically lie behind obstacles, and then the camouflage will fully justify its purpose.
These rules are especially important to know and follow for a hunter who usually uses civilian camouflage. A person who decides to compete with animals in this regard must be extremely careful, choose clothes according to the time of year and the colors prevailing in the area.
History of modern camouflage
In military practice, modern typical multi-color camouflage began to be actively used at the beginning of the twentieth century, and during the Second World War it was used together with single-color: it was mainly issued to snipers, Luftwaffe and SS special forces soldiers, and paratroopers.
During these times, all the advantages of a multi-color military suit became clear to humanity; everyone was clearly convinced that it was not a luxury, and indeed turned out to be much more effective than a plain one. Today the troops use just such camouflage fabrics - multi-colored ones. Camouflage clothing made from them makes a person invisible on the ground with minimal effort on his part - and this has been proven in numerous local wars of the past and present centuries.
Camouflage allows you to hide your positions and even equipment from the enemy, remain invisible, and, therefore, alive. Over the past decades, it has been tested great amount shades and patterns, and currently only the most effective fabrics are used in troops around the world that can literally dissolve a person on the ground so much that he turns into a real invisible man.
Camouflage in modern fashion
If we look at military-style clothing - namely, stylized, and not real army clothing, you can see even more types and colors of camouflage. It turned out that multi-colored fabrics with blurry patterns are not only practical in war in the field, but also very beautiful. By making the colors just a little brighter, and sometimes even using “military” fabric with its typical coloring, you can create very stylish things.
And real army clothes different countries, and military-style items remain equally fashionable and relevant these days. They are practical and almost always look neat - the spots are lost among the washed-out coloring. From the point of view of hunters, camouflage items have no equal at all - they allow people to successfully engage in their favorite craft.
