新军服也有独特驱蚊功能。含氯菊酯的布料，让士兵不必在身上喷洒防虫剂或以杀虫药水浸洗军服，就能让蚊虫“敬而远之”。新军服经过30次洗涤才会失去驱蚊功能，但士兵可自行用防虫药水浸洗军服，恢复驱蚊功能。
With the proliferation of surveillance devices that can
detect soldiers at night, the camouflage effect has to work at all
times to avoid detection.
Thus, the new uniform material is treated with Near Infra-Red (NIR)
capabilities. The pixelised design loses none of its efficacy when
viewed through night-vision devices. In fact, it is more effective
at night.
"It's hard to talk about a specific percentage since you
get different results at different ranges and in different
terrains, lighting and climatic conditions. But it's safe to say
we're looking at a 30 to 50 per cent enhancement in the soldier's
camouflage capability."
