y now, most Army units should be seeing the new improved camoufage system ULCANS
(ultra lightweight camoufage net system).
ULCANS is a step up From the old LCSS (lightweight camoufage screen system and
lightweight camoufage support system). ULCANS is resistant to fire, mold, and mildew. It
has an anti-snag design and is easier and quicker to set up and tear down.
The switch From LCSS to ULCANS can’t be done piecemeal. You can’t replace LCSS
components with ULCANS components. ULCANS and LCSS screens have diFFerent radar
and thermal properties, plus they use diFFerent screen connections. And ULCANS employs
a shape disrupter instead oF a batten spreader.
± When±you±are±ready±to±order±ULCANS,±use±these±NSNs,±which±bring±both±the±screens±
and±support±systems:
As oF yet, there is no ULCANS snow camoufage. Limited quantities oF LCSS radar-
scattering snow camoufages are available: Type IV, NSN 1080-01-266-1826, and the older
Type II, NSN 1080-00-103-1233.

ooner or later it’s bound to happen.
Through normal wear, your vinyl-
coated polyester tent gets tears and
holes. Then when it rains, your tent
becomes a leaky faucet. You must
make repairs while tears are still small,
before major damage sets in.

kit,

The
cotton duck (canvas) sheets that once
came with the repair kit are no longer
available. The Army has replaced the
canvas with 60-in wide vinyl-coated
polyester sheets for Feld repairs. The
sheets come in green and tan. You can
order them separately if you don’t
want the entire kit. The unit of issue is
by the yard.
The kit also comes with adhesive
for applying the polyester patches.
