The ESTDCU (ESTonian Digital Camo Uniform)[1] is an Estonian digital camouflage pattern.[2]

History

[edit]

The first set of test uniforms was introduced in 2005.[3] The ESTDCU was adopted in the EDF by 2006.[1]

Design

[edit]

The camouflage pattern was developed by Andres Lüll on contract with the Logistics Center of the Estonian Defence Forces.[citation needed]

The ESTDCU has an extreme likeness to Canadian military's CADPAT[4] featuring black, olive green, and rust-colored pixels on a light green background.[1][5]
