War Museum to stage camouflage expo

Ashley Pomeroy

Into battle with the Art of Noise 

As the world urbanises, there will be less call for outdoors camouflage. Future wars will be fought on the streets of cities such as Birmingham and Huddersfield (for example - perhaps the residents might have a block war). Soldiers will need to blend with the urban environment, either with the furniture of cities such as postboxes and benches, or the people themselves.

I envisage the soldier of to-morrow going into battle with Cayman shoes, miniature jackets, tiny handbags etc. They would not have to disguise their guns, because city folk already have guns. Soldiers already use mobile phones to communicate, nothing will have to change there. I envisage a special kit that can transform a CVR Scimitar into a passable imitation of a Toyota RAV-4. Land Rovers will remain the same, but they will be much cleaner, so as not to stand out from typical urban Land Rovers.
