In 2008 the Austrian Ministry of Defence introduced two pixelated patterns, thus far only tested for service with the Jagdkommando (special operations forces). Both patterns are named pixeltarnung (pixel camouflage), there being both a temperate and a desert version. A third version also exists. Although none of these patterns were officially adopted, during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, surplus fabric was used to make face shields for members of the Armed Forces.
