SIGMAN Camouflage SOP: A Guide to Reduce Physical Signature Under UAS

Written by a group of US Marines, ‘SIGMAN Camouflage SOP: A Guide to Reduce Physical Signature Under UAS’ goes into great detail regarding signature management against Unmanned Aerial Systems.

The Marines have changed up their doctrine, adopting Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE) and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), which require Fleet Marine Forces to support Navy sea control missions. This disperses small units along key littoral terrain. As you can imagine, our adversaries will be looking for them and one of the most effective means is via air, UAS in particular. Remaining hidden from these eyes in the sky isn’t just critical for mission success, but for survival.

    Super interesting. Can’t find online the Marines’ guide on camouflaging rifles mentioned in this manual (“Chad Skaggs. Camouflage Infantry Rifles . Camp Pendleton, CA: SOI-W,17 Aug 2018”) mentioned on page 2-4. Can you tell us where to download it?

    After looking at this, it seems like a lot of things we did in the 1980s Europe that the military has not been concerned about since 9/11 happened. A good reference thou.
