Abstract. The article presents a method of designing and assessing the camouflage effectiveness of a novel camouflage pattern used in military uniforms. “Artificial intelligence”, namely cellular automata, which, based on terrain imaging, allowed the authors to obtain dedicated, tailor-made, or universal camouflage patterns, was used as the design method. On the other hand, the study on camouflage effectiveness was based on tests with the participation of observers in a virtual environment using a personal computer.
