This camouflage option does not save from detection by a drone., considered in Britain
Material released in Britain, which refers to the additional advantage of tanks in the case of using new versions of the so-called digital camouflage. In particular, celebrated, that the monochromatic camouflage of combat vehicles is no longer relevant today. The main reason is called - such tanks can be easily detected by drones from the air even without the use of special infrared equipment.
Tanks with the usual camouflage variant are becoming more and more vulnerable. They can be detected by drone operators through a conventional camera., installed on a drone. After that, an anti-tank guided missile will strike from the air.
To increase the level of safety of the tank crew and the security of the armored vehicle itself, including from a drone strike, as noted, it is important to use modern digital camouflage technologies. So, for the "potential theater of operations in Europe" the use of "multi-shade" camouflage in the green spectrum is proposed:
These are several shades - from yellowish green to dark green and swamp.
The application of the "digital pattern" is proposed to be carried out not in a chaotic sequence, but with a certain regularity. In particular: the lower and middle part of the tank should have a digital pattern in darker tones, than its upper part - if we are talking about the side projection of the tank. Top-view projection camouflage to protect against detection by drone cameras should be created by "solid pixelization".
Multi-tone digital camouflage of the upper projection of the tank will reduce the vulnerability from UAVs due to reduced visibility of the combat vehicle. Tests have shown a reduction in visibility on 80 percent
In this case, as stated, the tank gets additional advantages on the battlefield, becoming, in addition, less distinguishable for enemy tanks.
All these studies draw attention, especially in connection with, that the British Ministry of Defense had previously made statements about the need to reduce the number of tanks in the troops, or even abandon them altogether..
