High contrast texture, as used for dazzle camouflage, is necessary. Dr Scott-Samuel said: "The effect should obtain in predators launching ballistic attacks against rapidly moving prey ...

Zoology experts call it "dazzle camouflage." However, there is also a fascinating story about how mankind borrowed this idea from animals and put it to use in warfare. Historians lovingly called ...

The revised findings claim the original study “substantially overestimated the effectiveness of dazzle camouflage.” While the modernist designs may have played some role in distorting ...

"Motion dazzle" camouflage uses bold geometric patterns in an attempt not to blend in, but to confuse observers. Theoretically, these patterns make it difficult to judge speed and trajectory.

The effectiveness of the iconic dazzle camouflage used on British Royal Navy ships during the First World War could be “substantially overestimated”, according to a new study. Instead ...

A new analysis of 105-year-old data on the effectiveness of "dazzle" camouflage on battleships in World War I by Aston University researchers Professor Tim Meese and Dr. Samantha Strong has found ...

But the idea behind this dazzle camouflage wasn’t completely crazy. The thinking was that the complex patterns would make it more difficult for an enemy to estimate the ship’s size ...
