The students asked some great questions which showed their interest in the topic presented." “Sometimes providing a basic introduction or historical knowledge on a topic that the students are already familiar with can provide a better understanding of why we do things the way we do or, conversely, why we cannot do things that may seem obvious to do. "It was a great opportunity to interact with the students who are, essentially, warfighters,” said Donald Lee, team leader of the Disruptive Materials and Fibers Team in the Soldier Protection Directorate at DEVCOM Soldier Center. It was good to see some of the science as well. All in all it was a very successful morning seminar!"ĭEVCOM Soldier Center experts noted the importance of exchanging information with students at the Naval War College. We often concentrate on the 'art' in military deception. “This led to other thoughts about how their own experiences with camouflage in different domains had worked and helped the instructors meet the objectives of the course. “They especially liked the ‘Onion or Garlic’ concept on why not being seen was crucial, or how being seen could help confuse the enemy and deceive adversary decision makers to take actions beneficial to our side,” said Povlock. The students had discussed some of these issues in class but interacting with the world class subject matter experts helped cement these concepts.”ĭuring the virtual class, the students learned how concealment and deception tactics are essential for increasing both warfighter survival and lethality. “The presentations helped our students see how camouflage works to deceive the enemy at tactical level of conflict. "The thirteen students and three instructors from the Naval War College's Military Deception elective enjoyed the interactions with the DEVCOM Soldier Center members and got a lot out of the discussion,’ said Paul Povlock, Ph.D., a professor in the Joint Military Operations Department at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Topics included the impact of signature management Ultralight, Camouflage, Netting System, or ULCANS current and emerging sensor threats short- and long-term potential solutions and detection distances of mission command networks. Soldier Center experts also briefed students about camouflage, concealment and signature management. Soldier Center experts also provided a detailed camouflage historical timeline. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, or DEVCOM, Soldier Center recently shared their camouflage, concealment and signature management knowledge with students enrolled in a deception class at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.Įxperts from the DEVCOM Soldier Center’s Soldier Protection Directorate provided virtual presentations that taught the students about the history of camouflage, including camouflage design variables (size, color, and shape), camouflage principles, examples of camouflage in nature, and electromagnetic spectrum sensors.
