At Arktis, camouflage development is part of the wider capability we offer military organisations, government agencies and defence brands.

The COMB family demonstrates this approach.

Rather than creating a single “do everything” pattern, COMB was developed as an environmental system. COMB Arid addresses grassland, semi-arid, and rocky terrain, while COMB Blizzard focuses on alpine and winter operations. Additional variants like COMB Urban, or the separate French Desert Noir, and Tundra  developments further showcase Arktis pattern development capabilities.

• Camouflage and colourway development
• Pattern scaling and repeat optimisation
• Garment integration across complete clothing systems
• Manufacturing across combat apparel, insulation, waterproofs and load carriage
• Low-volume specialist development through to large-scale manufacture

For organisations looking to develop proprietary camouflage or launch exclusive product lines, these capabilities form part of Arktis’ wider OEM and manufacturing services.

With more than 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing tactical clothing for military and law enforcement customers worldwide, Arktis supports partners from initial concept through to production-ready solutions.

If you’re developing a new capability, launching a specialist product range or looking for an experienced manufacturing partner, we’d welcome the conversation.

Saab has introduced its latest iteration of camouflage solutions, a poncho to protect individual soldiers from being detected by sensors operated by opposing forces across a variety of environments.  

Barracuda Poncho is Saab’s latest addition to complement its existing Barracuda range of advanced camouflage solutions. The purpose of Barracuda Poncho is to hide the user from thermal and, in the arctic version, UV sensors while providing the freedom of movement to act swiftly and quietly. Its light weight of just above 1 kg makes Barracuda Poncho easy to deploy, wear and adjust. 

Barracuda Poncho provides visual and thermal protection across varied environments, including woodland, stony desert, and arctic conditions. Its reversible design enables a night and day configuration on each side, with enhanced thermal protection for night.

“Barracuda Poncho is our answer to the recent rise in UAV-based surveillance on the battlefield, where a mission can be compromised if the soldier even briefly leaves a camouflaged vehicle or position. Building on the positive response from our Soldier System, the new Barracuda Poncho solution provides an alternative camouflage solution, focusing on wearability while retaining the exceptional multispectral protection,” says Henning Robach, head of Saab’s business unit Barracuda.

The poncho will be on display at Saab’s stand G180, Hall 6 at Eurosatory 2026.
