This photo, taken this week at SecureTech, is of HyperStealth Biotechnology Corporation’s urban camo pattern called CUEPAT-2.
According to a post on Facebook, “This is the unconventional pattern in field trials, previous computer simulations showed this pattern to be quite effective for both outdoor and indoor urban environments. The perceived depth within the pattern throws off the ambient and focal vision from noticing the target.”
This is CUEPAT-1 is a more traditional pattern.
Developed under contract for the Canadian Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada Suffield, (DRDC-S) to develop a Canadian Urban Environment Pattern (CUEPAT) based on the unique requirements of Canada’ss three major metropolitan areas, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
These patterns are currently under trial and the winner will end up being used for CBRNE suits. We also hear rumor that the DND is talking about expanding the pattern(s) to CANSOF use.

That first one would make a dope shirt down at the club.
I really can’t take that first camo pattern seriously. The largest area, the back, will be covered with body armor. This leaves the sleeves and legs to carry the pattern, which I doubt would expose the pattern as whole. But at the club, the chicks would dig it.
It is being designed for cbrn/nbc suits for urban uses. Obviously if that is the goal, it’s use is for Canada’s CJIRU unit (look it up) in Canadian cities. It isn’t made for standard door kicking scenarios, it’s made for tactical dirty bomb and chemical attack type work where the person wearing the suit is probably not planning for an all out assault, just some assistance is staying camouflaged while moving or working in contaminated areas. If they are willing to pay for that, then obviously camouflaged armour carriers and other gear is an option.
