The Role Of Camouflage Patterns in Military Camouflage Nets

Camouflage camouflage net is widely used in military target camouflage due to its advantages of quick effect, low cost and convenient construction. It is a common method against military reconnaissance and weapon attack systems. effective preservation. Whether in peacetime or wartime, camouflage plays a very important role in ensuring combat readiness materials, improving troop combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.
Our army began to use camouflage to camouflage military targets in the 1950s. Since the level of satellite reconnaissance in the 1950s was very low, the camouflage at that time was more for ground reconnaissance. The current camouflage is mainly used for space and aviation reconnaissance. In recent years, with the development of satellite and high-altitude aircraft technology, reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance aircraft have been widely used in the military field. The development of reconnaissance technology will inevitably require corresponding improvements in camouflage technology. There are four main differences between observing the surrounding scenery from the ground and observing the scenery from a high altitude: different colors, different brightness contrast, different shapes and different textures. To give a simple example: from the ground, a tree is basically a pagoda shape, but from the air a tree is just a circle with shadows. What you see on the ground is the side of a house, whereas what you see from the satellite is more of the roof.
In the past, the camouflage patterns used by our army for military installations were mainly drawn by hand by personnel, and the basis for drawing basically came from the experience of technicians. The camouflage painted in this way has obvious artificial traces and has not changed much for a long time. It was not until the emergence of digital camouflage in 2007 that the old-fashioned traditional camouflage patterns were phased out. The new digital camouflage pattern is made by computer layout through various digital design methods, using the principle of dot color and color mixing, which can solve the problems of unnatural connection between old camouflage color blocks and low degree of bridging with the background . As a new generation of camouflage technology, digital camouflage has become the trend of armies all over the world.
The smooth edges of traditional camouflage make the contrast between colors obvious, which is the fundamental reason for increasing the color perception of the naked eye; while digital camouflage uses the visual principle of pixel dot matrix to blur the edges between different colors, and has the characteristics of gradual changes in vision . The topography and landforms of different regions are also significantly different in the same jungle or desert. The spots and stripes of traditional camouflage have their definite colors and clear boundaries, which also greatly reduces their adaptability to landform differences. Secondly, the color contrast of digital camouflage is very weak, especially the border of irregular colors, which greatly improves its adaptability to different landforms. Secondly, from a short distance, the pattern of digital camouflage is like enlarging the dots of the imaging fluorescent screen, showing a grid of small square color blocks, which is completely different from the streamlined abstract pattern of traditional camouflage; When you look at it, the digital camouflage pattern can be easily integrated into various backgrounds, which is not easy for the eyes to find.
There are four main types of digital camouflage: jungle camouflage, desert camouflage, general camouflage and marine camouflage. Jungle camouflage colors are: light khaki, brown, black and neutral olive green, used in jungle areas. Common camouflage colors are: gray, green, brown, and black. Mainly used in Army and Air Force. The colors of desert camouflage are: khaki, dark brown, black. Marine camouflage is a blue camouflage pattern that is used by the PLA Marine Corps, but it is poorly effective on land.
