Terrain Reflectance Camouflage

Abstract

The object of the program was to design, fabricate and field test a prototype terrain reflectance camouflage system for use with a parked M60 tank. Operational design requirements dictated that the unit be easy to deploy and repackage. The suggested concept was that the system would cover the hull and tread portion of the vehicle while another camouflage material would be employed on the vehicle turret and gun. This approach would permit the vehicle to use its weaponry in the defensive position. The report summarizes the development of the prototype terrain reflectance camouflage system for the M60 tank.
