As part of the “Hide, Deceive, survive” programme, the new “digital type” variant of the new generation MCDG 5 (Multi-Coloured Digital Camouflage Five) was tested by the British Army with amazing results.
More specifically, the MCDG 5 is reminiscent of “broken” pixels on a computer screen, making it 80% more difficult to visually detect vehicles and armor bearing it compared to an older variant.
The MCDG 5 is based on a design of multiple small squares/parallelograms of different shades that break making the tank almost invisible, British armour using the MCGG5 managed to become one with the environment, drastically increasing the degree of survival of any hazards in the modern battlefield.
According to British reports, the ability to locate/identify short distances (400-1500 meters) was extremely difficult. This is important because tanks are neutralized by surprisingly short distances.
Every extra second that gives the camouflage can change the data in the modern battlefield, because it will enable the crew of the chariot to react quickly first.
Scientists at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory to obtain materials with a low level of radar detection and high temperature dissipation used “Dazzle” variant designs of A World War ships, misleading paints used by British armour crews in the Western Desert during the B World War and experimental charges in the 1960s and 1970s.
