One of the keys to success in war is learning from experience and adapting as a result. That is just what happened when a team from the British Army’s Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ATDU) visited the Challenger Main Battle Tank unit which is part of the UK led NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup in Estonia.
The Multi-Coloured Camouflage Scheme (MCDCS) project was launched as a result of British troops’ experience in Estonia, lessons gleaned from the Royal Tank Regiment’s ‘Streetfighter’ experiment, and a long-recognised need to hide, deceive, and survive on the modern battlefield. We know from operational analysis that, in combat, tanks are destroyed from surprisingly short range and that the preservation of our battle-winning capabilities is vital to success.
MCDCS is the product of a joint project involving the UK-based ATDU, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), and the Tank Museum. The project was devised to create a camouflage scheme which would decrease detection, both by the human eye and artificial intelligence-enabled targeting tools, with a goal of tricking the enemy and creating an advantage for the camouflaged vehicle.

The aircraft, which represent the current RAF and RN fast jet 'front line' were at RAF Valley to provide type familiarisation for the trainee fast jet pilots of XXV(F) and IV(AC) Squadrons who are currently training on the Hawk T2.
The visit coincided with the last sorties of Course 402-042, who will graduate soon. The graduating fighter pilots will then move on to their operational conversion units to train on the F35 or Typhoon.
Once on the fast jet front line, they will take on the vital roles of securing UK sovereign airspace and defending our interests across the globe.

This weekend the latest recruits took part in Exercise FIRST STEP where they learnt a range of fieldcraft and individual skills necessary to survive and operate in the field. It is essential that all new members of the Force can operate in any weather, during day and night before moving on to more complex military training.
