DSRPT Camo

The Science of Visual Disruption.

DSRPT Camo is a proprietary signature-management technology engineered to completely rewrite the rules of tactical concealment. Rather than relying on traditional, macro-organic shapes designed to mimic nature, DSRPT utilizes a patented, high-contrast geometric layout inspired by the historic "Dazzle" naval camouflage of World War I.
