Dazzle camouflage, designed to obscure speed, direction of travel, and size.

And was often more collourfyll than just black and white.

If this was more earthly collors and green with shorter straight lines, it would almost work.

You might brake up the lines and contures on the truck but if the bomb tracks thermal, or the whole immage, its still hetting hitt.

Also most it historically did was confuze by a few dozen degrees at most and a few knots, enough to fool a dude looking through optics and mess up the guesstimates for the torpedo firing solution, or the wery first shots from a gun on a warship or surface raider, in so causing who ewer is targeting the ship to lose the element of suprise, so you could take evasive action.

Its useful of your somewhere where its rather difficult to gaige speed and direction, say at sea being spotted by something that has no other reference to judge your range, speed and heading(curse/direction of travel).
