These are intended to avoid facial recognition on CCTV etc, and are therefore also a form of camouflage.
When we had our automated sentry gun, it would always prefer to aim at my head during testing, setting up etc.
When browsing the the AIs reference pictures we observed two things:
1) The torso presented the largest and most obvious target, but images captured in the tracking sequences were sometimes inconsistent, our conclusion was that though MTP/multicam is lighter in contrast to the UKs woodland, the disruptive pattern broke up the human shape and though movement was clearly visible prediction of where that movement was going became inconsistent. The head was a more consistent shape, and the human body tries to keep the head steady when moving, making tracking and prediction more accurate
2) We realised that the AI still had its initial reference images from the first test runs with a football, heads are close enough to a ball shape and moved in similar trajectories (less the bouncing)
With two or three targets the system could predict and switch back and forth between where each of the heads would be by the time the barrel switched back
On a camouflage perspective for players, we might see a player but we still need to recognise, assess the threat and predict where it will be.
A moving target is easier to see, but we have to guess where to shoot
A stationary target may not be so obvious, is easy to point at once identified, but not an immediate threat unless their barrel is pointed at us
As well as ghillies waiting for an opportunity, the sneaky players who quietly but blatently stroll behind your lines may be ‘camouflaging’ with non aggressive actions
