DUAL-TEX: Evaluation of Dual-Texture Gradient Pattern

Abstract

This study compared the effectiveness of an experimental camouflage concealment pattern (Dual-Texture Gradient Pattern) with a selection of existing patterns and unpatterned targets in summer and winter (snow) conditions. Approximately 260 US Military Academy cadets were employed as subjects. Color slide series were used to simulate field conditions. The experimental pattern was found to be significantly more effective than other pattern measures tested. Field validation was recommended.
