Germany	Arid-Flecktarn	A commercial variant of flecktarn with Multicam colorway which developed by TacGear in Germany but never used in any official capacity other than in sports. It is not used by any country in any official capacity.	Mar 2010
Greece	Pentacamo ®	Developed by Pentagon S.A. located in Thessalonika, Greece. The pattern is based on Greek Lizard camouflage with Multicam-inspired coloration. It designed to help the user difficult to spot in various environments, elevations, and light conditions. In short, Pentacamo is designed to work in all different types of environment as a one camouflage solution. It will be initially available on the Pentagon's Artaxes Jackets, CDUs and Scorpion boots. On Oct 2012, Pentagon delivered several sets of uniforms and headgear to the Hellenic Armed Forces Reserve Association (Leschi Efedron Enoplon Dinameon – LEFED) for evaluation.	Dec 2012

	Arktis Digital Camouflage	Developed in-house by Arktis UK; a pixelation of the British DPM pattern. It no longer has the distinct 'brush' pattern of the original DPM	2007
	PenCott Digital Camouflage	Developed by Hyde Definition in UK; The PenCott pattern, combines grass and pale foliage tones with several earth colours and a grey that matches both rock and weathered wood. Pale khaki highlights work with the dark brown elements to achieve a three-dimensional effect at shorter ranges. There is no black in this pattern: the illusion of depth is created by the juxtaposition of highly contrasting shades, and by the light green elements (which, through an optical illusion due to the way humans perceive colour, appear to recede or sit behind the warmer earth tones in the pattern). Irregular dark patches blend with shadows, bark and dark soil as well as breaking up the human body's distinctive shape. False edges at the high-difference boundaries of these patches further confuse the eye. It is multi-fractal, meaning it carries a micro-pattern (close range), a macro-pattern (long range), and an innovative midi-pattern (middle range). This ensures that the PenCott design continues to conceal whether its wearer is four metres away, or 400.	2008

A formal announcement was expected on June 14 on the Army's birthday, but due to the congress bill that orders all service branches to have a common set of camouflage uniforms by 2018, the date was pushed back.
