Jaba polyova or Field Toad - adaptive camouflage for use in the forest
and steppe zone of Ukraine as well as in areas of mixed, tropical
forests and equatorial zones.
Over millions of years of evolution of life on Earth and the natural
selection left on our planet only the strongest and most adapted to the
natural selection animal species. One of these animals in our area is
the common toad. This amphibian has many enemies in nature but it does
not decrease its population.
The only way to protect against predators which may use a toad is a
protective mask color which makes it almost invisible in their natural
habitat. Millions of years of evolution did a perfect job.
In 2012, the Ukrainian brand P1G-Tac engaged in the creation of its new
own universal camouflage, basing the study of various natural
protective masking patterns of animals. Camouflage was developed for
field use in the steppe and woodland ares of Ukraine in the warmer
months.
In the process of creation of camouflage was used a modern software
that allows you to simulate different lighting conditions of
camouflage object and the surrounding landscape in three dimensions in
real time. For 3D-modeling of camouflage and virtual tests were
collected videos and photographs of landscapes typical for different
regions of Ukraine.
Virtual testing and enhancement of the final pattern and colors of
camouflage lasted nearly a year. In addition, when we created this
camouflage pattern we counted towards mass production of clothing and
field gear.
As a result of this work we got the perfect camouflage for the
territory of Ukraine, known as "Toad", which successfully camouflages
human figure almost all the landscapes that have vegetation and at any
observation distance.
Camouflage "Toad" - an adaptive camouflage pattern that filled by
colors of potential places of use. As a result, when "Toad"
camouflage get in range from the background object to an observer it
begin to appear background colors of the object on a camouflage pattern.
This phenomenon helps to camouflage human body at background
environment.
Using these inherent properties of the pattern "Toad" camouflage is
easily adaptable to different conditions of vegetation and landscape,
camouflages and not unmask the human figure.
Whatever the field clothing and equipment no matter what was put on top
of the clothes saturated pattern of "Toad" camouflage transforms
dressed and equipped man in a single, well-camouflaged object.
A lot of positive feedback from the operators of the special units of
the CIS countries confirm the successful work of "Toad" camouflage in
real combat conditions.
