Camouflage by Reflectance: Report of Field Test

Abstract

A week-long evaluation of the camouflage by reflectance system was performed at the General Electric Ordnance Systems test area in Pittsfield, Mass. Testing here was done using an M113 vehicle with wheel mock-ups to simulate an M60 tank as no tank was available in this area. Further testing was performed at Aberdeen Proving Ground using an M60 tank as the test bed. There were two basic objectives to these tests: equipment evaluation from the user's standpoint, and effectiveness of the reflectance technique in camouflaging a tank.
