Hyperspectral Imaging for the development and evaluation of individual signature management
Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) provides a unique capability for camouflage development and evaluation
Used in the evaluation of new camouflage for OEF – OEF Camouflage Pattern (OCP)
Modern camouflage must be effective across multiple portions of the electromagnetic spectrum
Effects to address: Base armor color and pouch color/pattern
Painting of individual weapon (M4)
Evaluation of commercially available weapon paints
