  • USD$5 billion for a uniform?!

    Wow...

    US Army’s Pixellated Camo Uniform Is a $5 Billion Failure

    Next time, just buy Prada?

    The article didn't go into detail on the how it failed. Just a passing mention that it's not a good camo pattern.

    I have never used or tried to detect this type of camo in the field, so I can't comment. I can only question.

      How many uniforms has the Army bought since 2004? 5 million probably at least? It's not really that much money...

        Turned out it didn't work so well in A'stan. The runner up, multicam works better and that is what is now issued to troops heading there.

          Yet another idea that looked good on paper and lab test but failed in the field.
