Proprietary camouflage · B2B licensing
Custom camouflage patterns built from your territory’s real satellite data — pattern in minutes, license signed in days.
Every small brand in hunting, tactical, and outdoor apparel hits the same wall: you can’t license Sitka’s Optifade, you can’t clone MultiCam without legal, and a studio commission runs $900–$2,400 with no science behind the result. RPR generates a unique, manufacturing-ready pattern from NASA satellite vegetation data, terrain elevation, and historical weather for any GPS point on Earth. Seed-locked for production.
Truth as architecture.
Hans Prahl · Founder, RPR
Founder
Hans Prahl — 21 years U.S. military intelligence (USMC & Army, ret., combat vet). 40 years in the Colorado backcountry. Built and sold a brewery before this. RPR is what happens when concealment doctrine, terrain literacy, and AI meet in one pipeline.

Modes · same data, three registers
Three modes, one engine.
Same satellite data, same biome — here, Denali Wilderness in winter. Three different aesthetic registers. Brands pick the lane that fits the line; the engine adapts. Sitka and Multicam can’t do this. RPR can, because the pattern is generated, not catalog.

01 Realistic
Tightly tessellated all-over print. Backcountry concealment, military and hunting apparel. The mode Sitka and Multicam compete in.
02 Casual
Bold landscape motifs at graphic scale. Recognizable terrain, brand-friendly. The space hunting brands moving into lifestyle want to occupy.
03 Fashion
Pattern abstracted into vibe — watercolor, ink, washed silhouettes. Apparel brands that lead with art direction; the terrain is in the DNA, not on the surface.
How it works
Three phases. Nine stages. Every pattern reproducible from a GPS point and a seed.
RPR is not a style filter or a stock library. Each pattern is a measured composite — built from real terrain data, scored against the ground truth, benchmarked head-to-head against the catalog camos brands have been licensing for decades. Same coordinates, same seed, same pattern. Every time.
RECON
Data gathered from earth
01GPS lock & data fetch+
Licensee provides one or more coordinates. RPR pulls NASA MODIS NDVI, SRTM elevation, NLCD land cover, and Open-Meteo weather for the target window. Resolution is meters, not regions.
02Terrain analysis+
Vegetation profile (canopy density, species mix, seasonal die-back) and terrain morphology (elevation banding, slope, aspect, ridge structure), extracted for day and night separately.
03Reference imagery+
Real ground-truth photos of the target terrain are pulled and analyzed. Pattern decisions are anchored to what the place actually looks like, not a stylized abstraction.
PHANTOM
Pattern composed from data
04Solar, lunar & thermal context+
Sun angle, moon phase, thermal IR window, and seasonal drift are computed for the target window. The pattern is built for when it has to work, not just where.
05Palette & composition+
Claude proposes the palette and pattern logic from the analyzed data and reference imagery. Each color is justified by terrain biology, not aesthetics alone.
06Procedural render+
Pattern field is built — macro shapes, micro texture, terrain-harvested detail patches, and natural-element silhouettes — at the proposed palette.
RENDER
Validated, benchmarked, finalized
07Concealment scoring+
The rendered pattern is measured against the source terrain on a multi-axis Concealment Index. The score is a fact about the pattern, not marketing language.
08Benchmark vs commercial baselines+
RPR scores head-to-head against Multicam, Sitka Optifade, Kryptek, and Mossy Oak on the licensee's specific terrain. You see how your custom pattern compares to the catalog.
09Production render & seamless tile+
Final manufacturing-ready file is rendered at 2048+ resolution on a production diffusion pipeline, seam-locked via periodic decomposition, and stamped with a reproducible seed.
Deliverables
What lands in your manufacturing queue.
One license, one pattern, one file pack. No subscription, no recurring generation fees, no surprise add-ons. Drop it into your existing supplier workflow and run.
Tileable master files
Production-resolution PNG and TIFF at full repeat, seamless on all four edges. Drops straight into sublimation, print-on-demand, or screen workflows.
Color reference pack
Pantone-adjacent values for the dominant 3-6 colors in the pattern. Spec trim, piping, and coordinated solid-color pieces. Communicate targets to your mill or POD partner.
Seed & generation manifest
The GPS coordinates, data-source revisions, and seed value used to produce the pattern. Reproduce or re-license against a known-good record.
Licensing PDF
Counterparty (Prahl Investments LLC), term, applications, exclusivity, and territorial scope. Drafted to drop into your existing supplier paperwork.
Pattern origin brief
One-page narrative PDF — the GPS source, season, vegetation type, terrain story behind this specific pattern. Marketing fuel for product pages, email, and copy. Where most camo brands have a marketing story, you have a data story.
Mockup samples
On-garment renders available on request to support your launch — typically 2-3 garment types. Real product photography is on the licensee.
