This report reviews the literature on recognition and identification of camouflaged (pattern painted) armored vehicles. In addition, the report contains the results of two experiments in long-range recognition and identification of camouflaged armored vehicles as viewed through the COBRA/TOW weapons sight (13 times magnification) at scaled ranges of 2500, 3000, 3500, and 4000 meters. HO scale models and varied terrain backgrounds were employed. The experimental procedures may be useful in a formalized recognition and identification training program for helicopter crewmen.
