In June of 2001, the US Army CERDEC NVESD camouflaged several vehicles for a FLIR field test at a wooded US Army test site in the western United States. The vehicles were camouflaged using field expedient camouflage materials, commercial hardware store materials, and standard camouflage nets. The camouflage materials were augmented with pieces of rubber conveyer belt material as observed being used on tanks in Serbia and Bosnia. The camouflage was placed on 3 US vehicles and Long wave FLIR imagery was collected at various ranges. The effectiveness of the camouflage treatments was analyzed.
