5. 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
