StatisticA1 Analysis Report of the M60A1 Camouflage Test.

Abstract

Technical Report TR 11-76 uses data collected from the M60A1 camouflage test to determine the effect of camouflage applications on the ability of threat observers to detect/identify/acquire camouflaged and uncamouflaged M60A1 tanks. Camouflage effectiveness was assessed for static and dynamic tank targets in both day and nighttime environments. Other factors addressed in the test were test site (various vegetation/terrain conditions) and observer tactical approach mode (ground-foot patrol, wheeled vehicle, and tank vehicle; aerial-pop-up and reconnaissance route). Measures of performance analyzed are the time to target detection/identification/acquisition and the ranges at which these event times occurred.
