reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA056471 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Dual-Tex pattern demonstrated a significant improvement in concealment effect over the standard US Army pattern under the field conditions tested. Exposure times in which significant improvement was demonstrated and the simulated engagement range match those conditions which may be tactically significant.
