Digitized Camouflage
-
Was checking out the Straits Times and read article on the US' progress in Afghanistan & Iraq (World, page 16). Nothing new about the articles but the photos were noteworthy. Apparently, some combat units seem to have already started wearing the Digitized Desert Camouflage uniform.
For those unfamiliar with digital camou, it's the new camou pattern first invented by the Canadians and later the US. It comprises of overlapping small squarish shapes rather than the current curvy or leaf like shapes that most armies' use. It supposedly makes it harder to differenciate from its background as the squarish (pixel) shapes tend to confuse the human eye. -
cool

double cool...
-
any pic?
-
oops
-
On a side note - the US navy is now testing a blue woodland camoflage uniform.
-
Temperate camo;note the diffreneces between the new digitized camo and the old camo:
Okay since the size of the pic is too big, do a Google search with keywords like: MARPAT, CADPAT etc. -

it makes me dizzy... lolOriginally posted by Meremere:Digitized desert camo: -
Heard from some friends around Mindef & ST that changes in uniform technology, design etc... will be coming up for review the next time SAF reviews it's uniforms (Any idea when that is?). Rumour is that camou uniforms might start to look for like the USA's (in design (ie. rank on collars not epaulets & the word "Singapore" on above the left pocket) if not in pattern).
Also, from idle chit chat with some "aunties" at PLAB E-mart, they say that RSAF No. 3 will change colour again soon. -
That means it's working!Originally posted by kwlee:it makes me dizzy... lol -

Yes.But the rank on the collars will be for Specialists.The left pocket shall have a tab with the respective service name, e.g Army, Air Force or Navy.We will also have different vocational badges.All these are just hearsay at the moment but it could be as early as next year.I think these changes will improve the image of our army and adopt a sort of friendly adversarial nature between the three services and the different vocations to further excel in their own strengths.I have heard a very wild rumour that we might be converting to desert camouflage too.Originally posted by aerozapper:Heard from some friends around Mindef & ST that changes in uniform technology, design etc... will be coming up for review the next time SAF reviews it's uniforms (Any idea when that is?).

Digitised camouflage is yesterday news.

That might be so, but the Crye camo pattern lost out to another contender for the new pattern US camo. Check this news out:Originally posted by Temujin:Digitised camouflage is yesterday news.
