Found some interesting reading material as I have been seeing a number of new styles of camouflage.
I had seen advertised new colors in Crye Precisions Multicam which I think is called UCP? There is a black, arid, and tropical I believe. My search for more images turned up a study that began a few years ago with regard to effectiveness in the visual spectrum of light and the same "patterns" through NVG systems.
What I found was amazing in some ways. Just because some patterns are extremely effective at hiding the human form in normal light, it may be a totally different story through night vision. Multicam for example seems to disappear through night vision. Which actually isnt very good. When viewed against the background, multicam looks like a blank space.
So, a push began to find systems that effectively did both jobs well. Conceal or breakup in daylight as well as doing the same through night vision. I don't know that I'm saying it very well here so I'll post the link. Pretty interesting read with lots of pics and even some rather unconventional attempts to mask the fabric against the IR spectrum.
