Management Science Support for the Guide to Camouflage for Developers
Abstract
Development of new material for the Army is widely understood to be a complex undertaking. Despite the hurdles along the way, the eng goal is to produce an array of tools which the field commander can use to achieve battlefield success. A key ingredient of the materiel provided to the field must be inherent survivability. The combat developer and the materiel developer must examine many alternatives in the process of enhancing the survivability of a system under development. Camouflage is one of the survivability enhancements that must be considered during the development process. In fact, AMC/TRADOC Pam 70-2 places responsibility for including camouflage of equipment among the tasks to be accomplished by developers of an item of equipment. The Guide is provided to assist developers in the execution of their responsibility. It reviews the AMC camouflage program, describes the threat to be countered by the application of camouflage principles and techniques, provides a series of possible camouflage techniques, and describes camouflage testing and evaluation procedures.
