  The NOVA episode on camoflage was from this current season so you might
be able to catch it on a re-run.  If you can afford it ($250 I think)
they have a 800 number to call and rent and episode.
   Also, The Discovery Channel has a show call 'Beyond 2000'.  This is an
Australian science news show.  In one of the recent episodesm the had a
story of the Australian Armys work on advancing the state of the art in
camoflage.  The way they were doing this was by a spectrl analysis of the
different environments (forest, desert, etc) and tailoring the spectral
response of the camo to that environment.
   I have no idea if this series is available on video cassette or even
if they re-run the broadcasts.  The program is a 'glossy magazine' anyway
(they don't give much detail, just fluff), but they are still interesting.
