Camouflage and Digital Camouflage
Digital camouflage is a pattern devised by utilizing small micropatterns, as opposed to larger macropatterns. Recently, battledress in digital camouflage patterns has been adopted by several armies world wide [1].
MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern) is a pixelated camouflage pattern in use by the United States Marine Corps, introduced with the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform. MARPAT uniforms were introduced in Early 2003, however the majority of Marine units were issued only the helmet covers at the beginning of the 2003 Iraq War[2].
Presently, the digital camouflage for personal clothing is being actively evaluated by some other countries. e.g. Austria, Poland, and Spain [1].
