The Canadian Disruptive Pattern[2] (CADPAT; French: dessin de camouflage canadien, DcamC[3]) is the computer-generated digital camouflage pattern developed for use by the Canadian Armed Forces. Four operational variations of CADPAT have been used by the Canadian Armed Forces: a temperate woodland pattern, an arid regions pattern, a winter operations pattern, and a multi-terrain pattern.
CADPAT was the first digital camouflage pattern to be used operationally, having been issued in 1997 with the Canadian Armed Forces. The pattern became fully standardized within the Canadian Armed Forces by 2002, having completely replaced the olive-drab operational uniforms formerly used by Regular Force units. Development of the multi-terrain CADPAT variant began in 2019 and as of 2025[update] is being issued to replace temperate woodland and arid CADPAT variants.
