Pretty short term solution. The profiles, dimensions at different distances, etc., will just get programmed into the AI at some point, then you're right back where you started.

A spoon is dear when lunchtime is near)))

It might throw off AI, but I think I could spot that in the woods.

This reminds me of the patterns used on many WWII ships. I guess what is old is new again. Thanks for posting Cuprum.

Better to go with MC.Escher/optical illusion schemes to throw off perspective/focus. And also a less garish color palette… ;-)

This paint scheme is not used directly on the battlefield. There, it would make little sense—there are no longer any large military vehicles on the front lines, and most drones are controlled by human operators. This camouflage is designed to protect equipment in the immediate rear (up to 25-30 km), where AI-controlled kamikaze drones—a kind of flying homing mine controlled by AI—are currently rampant. They make attack decisions without human intervention.

I did some digging on the topic…
Here are some interesting notes on the subject. From Kyiv, by the way)))

Meanwhile, last year, Italian fashion designers presented a clothing collection designed with AI, the colors of which were designed to deceive machine vision.
You can imagine what soldiers of the near future will be wearing. Hey, who's painting the armies of the future? You're using the wrong painting schemes.

To be honest, it's a bit weird to realize that your opponent is a machine… I was reminded of an old Soviet cartoon…

I think naval dazzle went back to WWI.

That wasn't a 'blend in' as much as confuse id, speed, bearing.

Not sure if this could help with armour…
