New A-TACS camo
Digital Concealment Systems have developed a new camo design that will be used on Remington, Bushmaster and DPMS guns. While the company is planning on unveiling it at SHOT '10, it has been in development for a while now and a few promotional photos can be found online.
Its universal pattern1 is a kind of improved digital pattern that uses blended blobs instead of the square pixels that are used in digital camo.

Universal means that it works equally well in all operational environments, for example, in forest, urban and desert environments. In practice universal often means it works equally badly in all environments. ↩

In a few years will we see high-def digital camo? It comes full circle?

Looks like watercolor meets ACU.
I’ll take an ACR is that please.
Lookout! Now all the services will be falling over each other to develop their own, logo incorporated, digital camo 2.0.
I doubt the Army or marines will go for a new camo. The marines have highly satisfied with the MPAT. The Army is the only service looking for a new camo. The ACU sticks out in any inviromet besides a brick wall. The pattern the army is testing and will adopt will be a mdoifed ACU with more OD and tan in the pattern. The multicam is a backup the Army is also looking at.
Nice ad pic with the Remington ACR though.
That’s a very nice effective camo for urban environment. I would like to see it in others tho before making judgment.
That’s one of the more impressive photos I’ve seen yet of the effectiveness of both fatigues camo and weapon camo!
Hmm, the above picture of the soldier looks highly Photoshopped. It could be that they took the picture in Alabama and just dropped in a standard ‘Iraqi-stan’ background to make it look more military…
…or they could have altered the colours of the surrounding rubble so it blends better with the camo.
I wish I could get more excited, but until they start making the ‘Predator’ suit, I’ll reserve judgement on it’s effectiveness.
I’m with SpudGun, that picture does look ‘chopped.
It’s shopped (as in Photoshopped), icEr, not chopped.
I think this is the best camo design to date. All other designs have distinct color separations (i.e., woodland and digital). Multicam comes in 2nd, but the colors are distinct. I can pick up on the dark brown spots. This A-TACS pattern has no uniformity or 90 degree lines. There’s some 3-D depth to it.
I give it 5 Stars.
