The use of camouflaged paint on low-flying aircraft provides a marked reduction in their detectability when observed from the air. However, when the major threat to survival is from ground defenses, the visual acquisition environment changes. Test results indicate that when observed from the ground, the camouflaged paint application is the least desirable of the three paint applications currently in use on tactical reconnaissance aircraft. A non-reflective lusterless paint of the same general shade as the RF-101 acrylic jetskin is recommended. This grey color is identified as shade Nr 36622, Federal Standard Nr 25. (Author)
