A proper camouflage pattern for military forces has an important role in success of military operations. Visual evaluation often is used for selecting the most proper camouflage pattern. The visual methods are not efficient, because they are depending on the accuracy and expertise of observers, and also inconsistency between experts opinion. Therefore, an efficient scientific method is necessary. Based on the literature review, two important criteria were found based on background matching and disruptive coloration. Beacause of the dependency between these criteria, a method based on analytic network process (ANP),which is more accurate than visual methods, has been presented. Also, a heuristic calculating process for this ANP-based method, has been used instead of SUPER DECISION software. The proposed calculating process afforded the results in much easier way with the same accuracy, without using the relevant software.
