Conclusions Camouflage schemes should be reviewed if operating conditions and scenario change Surface coatings can control the signature in visible and IR wavebands We have developed temporary paints that can be used to change the camouflage scheme We have developed a laboratory method to evaluate the effectiveness of camouflage schemes under different conditions Future camouflage may use adaptive coatings
