Dynamic dazzle distorts speed


Dazzle camouflage, as used on World War I battleships to fool U-boat commanders, has been modernized for the twenty-first century with moving patterns. New research has found that these moving patterns can cause a marked change in perceived speed. This would be enough to cause a targeting error of up to 2m for a Land Rover at a distance of 70m, moving at 55mph. Ref. Source 5r.
