MODERN CAMOUFLAGE
FOR MODERN WARFARE
Camouflage can sound like a fancy term; as if only referring to modern equipment with advanced electronics or sophisticated materials technology. It’s true that camouflage is both more prevalent and more complex today than ever before, and for good reason, but that doesn’t mean camouflage is a recent development. Humans have been using camouflage in one way or another for millenia, hiding from the enemy in a pile of leaves, or covering ourselves in dirt or mud to visually and olfactorily obscure ourselves on a hunt. More recently, over centuries of pre-modern warfare, followed by the catastrophic World Wars of the 20th century (not to mention a handful of other major global conflicts), our early conceptions of camouflage have evolved into what we’re all familiar with today: stochastic, multicolor patterns, typically of neutral tones that match specific combat areas in forests, jungles, deserts, and even the urban environment.
Such camouflaging is applied to innumerable military tools and infrastructure, most famously including military aircraft, naval vessels, tanks, ground vehicles, and uniforms. However, the way it’s applied is always changing, and recent years have seen the rise of camouflage coatings. These high-performance coatings are made from strong but flexible elastomers like polyurea and polyurethane, which can be formulated in custom colors and textures, and applied with precision to realize optimal patterning for maximum concealment. It’s an incredible technology, and ArmorThane is proud to support the military and defense industry with high-quality camouflage coatings that offer protection well and beyond that of camouflage alone.
