The Chameleon Suit is a type of hi-tech camouflage system utilized by FOXHOUND during the 1990s, acting as their field uniform.

They were capable of dividing into cold and hot regional types, with both variants supporting a variable-camouflage system with internal heat and luminous sensors. It also worked in conjunction with a camouflage screen composed of a polyesther shield with few radar reflection ratio. As such, it was colloquially named the "Chameleon Suit" because the variable-camouflage system changed colors and patterns in a similar manner to a chameleon and assimilates it into the surrounding. Below are the patterns it could undertake, with the chameleon color changing for the corresponding setting:

Region Type/Area Uniform/Camo Index
30% 30% 5% 5% 30%
 COLD  Evergreen Forest Green  Field Drab Sand  Black   Chameleon
