- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Royal Australian Navy personnel are getting a new, lighter camouflage working uniform.
The new Maritime Multi-Patterned Uniform (MMPU) is being introduced across Navy, with some Navy personnel attending the Indo Pacific 2022 Expo (10-12 May 2022) in Sydney already wearing it.
The Australian designed and manufactured uniforms have been a collaboration between Defence and industry and is set to deliver significant benefits for Navy. The roll-out of the new MMPU is gaining momentum and more personnel are benefiting from a lighter weight, more practical and great looking working uniform.

Pals from the USA here.. We think they look phenomenal 👍🏻 everyone looks great in them as well. Love you guys! 🇺🇸🇦🇺
Looks great and made on home soil, big yes from me.
Well done about time we did.. made in Australia 🇦🇺
WHY?? What for? I can understand the need for better fabric and it's great that it's being made in Australia but do you really need a camouflage pattern? The Army needs it to blend into the environment when they are in the bush. In the Navy though, why do you need a camouflage pattern? Do you need to blend into the environment? Is it so a missile won't see the crew and get confused because it thinks nobody is home? It seems like a huge waste of money really.
There's a few reasons.
- More professional look rather than the public seeing navy personnel in a random shirt and pants
-Hides wear and stains from work (Similar to how the navy salute in a more American style rather than how the Army and Air Force salute this was to hide the grease of the palm when saluting a officer)
-Security reasons, it would be very easy to enter into a Naval defence establishment without being contested if there was no uniform.
-There's different capabilities for different types of camouflage.
I'd imagine it would be of benefit for personnel to be camouflaged in any environment from anyone trying to look. Knowing where and how many sailors are onboard a ship could be important information for an enemy. Grey camo makes sense on a grey ship, probably the most likely place a sailor would need some concealment.
Also, you might not know exactly when you will need camo or have time to change into it, just ask the Ukrainians...
@@Rintaro88 Camouflage for Naval and Airforce personnel isn't really for concealment at all. It's for uniformity and recognition across branches, because each branch has avenues to connect and it doesn't hurt to look good anyways.
@@Crovesk yes, as the video and naite above have said.
Concealment may not be the main purpose, however i am sure it is a factor.
@@Rintaro88 You do realise the sailors are "inside" the ship don't you?
Great stuff, Australian Defence Force personal with all Aussie uniforms. This the direction we need to go.
To all you ADF ladies and gentleman I love you all.
Love that it is australian made.
One has to hand it to the clever people designing uniforms. Incorporate camouflage so that when somebody falls overboard they are totally invisible. At least they're comfortable I guess.
the good old number 8's
Honestly no navy uniform since federation would really stand out, the whites could look like white caps on the ocean, the navy blue… self explanatory..
I preferred the grey overalls.. more practicle & comfortable at sea.
Good to see them finally shelve the DPNU's. Long overdue 👌
Gotta miss those "happy pockets"
Always good for rescuers when you blend into the ocean after getting blown overboard, thought a bit of reflective orange might be smart
does anyone else out there remember tropical kit. Jocks and thongs out of sight of land.
I can remember 'Eights' for shipboard wear. No1's for inspections and going ashore- Navy Blue, of course. Tens, Schooner rig (Bell bottoms trousers and white short-sleeved, square cut neck. All manner of numbers for all manner of uniforms - all long gone long ago. All Aussie-made, of course!
Still have a set of 8's, old bell bottoms, the 8's fouly
80' s were brought from Fiji.
What happened to ironing the bell bottoms 7 creases for 7 seas??
Do they come in XXXXXLarge
Years ago, in the 1990s, I was involved with uniform research and development with the Estonian Defense Forces Army.
We found that the large vertical Zipper upper chest pockets design tactical uniforms were very important for the soldiers to be able to quickly stuff in and transport important gear while on the go.
I see that the Australian Defense Forces have also smartly adopted a large vertical upper chest zipper pocket design on their new generation of tactical uniforms.
This is the right way to go with which provides the maximum functional capabilities, an important aspect for military personnel's tactical uniforms.
Way to go, Australian Defense Forces!
I was in the Australian Army back in the late 80s when we switched from Greens to Cams, huge morale boost at the time. You look and feel so much better and the new style pattern looks better again.
I found 8,s fine to wear, and they looked smart too, and throw on the fowlie when it gets cold. I didn’t see a 10a version. I don’t understand the navy anymore.
What happened to good old No 8s.
Why would the navy need camo ?
Camo! Camo! your on a boat mate.
Why was the previous uniform unfit for service? It wasn't that old. Has the people who approved the last uniform been punished for their apparent mistake?
I don’t believe there was an actual issue, however it doesn’t really cost anything to change a uniform.
Most organisations will replaces uniforms due to wear and tear and natural rotation about every 2 years anyways.
The flames retardant material is more expensive, but safety PPE is needed.
They were heavy and obviously didn’t have the new camo. The new uniforms are much more lightweight and comfortable for our service members and having a ship and shore version is good too.
Could they be the same people who approve the Tiger and NRH90 Helicopters? That are earmarked for replacement well short of their predicted lifecycles?
Don't worry the uniforms will be up for replacement, AGAIN in a few years.
@@iivanforchune9666 can't have any of that taxpayer money going to ACTUALLY benefitting the normies....
Gotta make our sailors look smart, so China can walk into their port of Darwin without so much as a fired shot.
False flag BS from an outdated and failed defence force.
Protect yourselves Australia, these people won't be able to respond in time.
@@jimmymifsud1 The cotton uniforms of last century seem to work very well and they lasted about 5 years at sea and longer ashore.
ADA have the uniforms made in Vietnam. There were Australian companies that would have made them in Australia that tendered for the contract but defence went with the cheapest.
They just stated they were being made here
Issued at some stage, lol, this pattern has been in development for years, tell the truth, it’s been a cluster for years and was held up by ADA because they couldn’t meet the flame retardant measures. The entire defence supply of uniforms right down to its sponsored groups and organisations has been behind in being supplied, ADA and defence logistics like all defence contracts are over priced and late on delivery, meanwhile China sits back laughing. You people throw the word innovation around like it means something, you couldn’t spell innovation, if you were in the private sector you’d all be sacked.
whats wrong with just overalls, why do you need camo on a ship answer me that just because the airforce and army wear them does not mean your missing out now
Good to see you missed the spell check on the very first title. Classic defence. QA on point.
Very happy it’s totally Auzzie designed and made ❤️
It seems In the Navy you needs sleeve tattoos in this same camo pattern
wow! Beats the old 8s!
Great point in having a fitting and comfortable uniform - such a simple thing overlooked between 1945-2000
This is about as ground breaking as
when the first generation AusCam aka bunny cams. Great work Australia!
at least its usable as camo, unlike some services...
The camo is just fashion choice
I am all for a more comfortable and practical working rig. However, why a non fire retardant shore version, and why a camouflage pattern? I have yet to hear a rational explanation for that bit of lunacy.
Agreed. One uniform so you dont have sea riders in shore rig at sea. There is already a shore rig W8 and S8. If you need to wear cams then it should be suitable for combat.
Its so the sailor's can't hide on broad the ship
Uniformity with other branches. Been a while coming now.
@@Crovesk I tried to bring in overalls for all on the ship when I was laundry leading hand.
It would have made washing more economical.
And easy.
Because the fire retardant actually makes a significant difference in weight, but the shore version actually has other differences as well, pockets are laid out differently as the sea variant has to have spacing for generally sea kit, sea variant has hi-visibility stripes on it, and it is slightly heavier then the shore variant. Meanwhile we keep the shore variant for doing work ashore, it's easier to work in the MMPUs than the whites, Less frustration with stains.
Line them with Kevlar and they would make great pants for motorcycling,Great to see Aussie made product being acquired by ADF great job
This new uniform looks good and offers plenty of protection from the sun. Is there any plan to redesign the dress uniform for sailors? It is rediculous to stay with a uniform, which offers very little protection from the sun, just because of tradition.
I'm not against change but camo? Just to be in line with the others? I prefer shorts in summer and of course those plastic sandals....
Why does the navy need grey camo uniforms? What a waste of money. Apart from RAN Divers who engage in ground based special forces operations the majority of navy personnel are shore based in Australia or on board a vessel at sea far from the enemy. Camo uniforms are mainly used by ground forces to help in camouflage and concealment from an enemy force. The greatest risk faced from peacetime RAN personnel on a vessel is going overboard, in which case HI VIZ would be preferable to a grey uniform which would be hard to see especially at night. Trendy bullshit and a waste of taxpayers money.
They have to pay for a uniform regardless, navy has never really worn high vis like commercial fleets.
However a change of uniform isn’t a cost consideration as most uniforms get retired around 2 years like most organisations.
The flame retardant/sea variant has hi-visibility stripes around the arms for help spotting a man overboard who would be treading water, and hi-viz material around the Velcro straps. You can see the hi-viz arms at 1:35
@@caifreer4 Doesn't HiVis on a camo uniform seem counter intuitive? I hope they are flash proof, I went through plastic uniforms in the 80's, not good at sea...
I think it's because everyone thinks they're Rambo. Navies wearing cam is plain dumb.
@@jimmymifsud1 just stop, you're embarssing yourself you don't know what you're talking about.
I live near a major base and see sailors around in uniform is the reflective strip's only used when on shore
Well done ADA. It took a few years but hopefully worth the wait.
Where do they import the yarn from?
So sad to see the bunny rabbit PJ's being retired.
Looking sharp.
Wow so will this unform take priority of Navy performance in stopping Chinese vessels from spying on Australia? Good to see the Navy priorities. By the way are they manufactured by 3rd tier factories in China or Bangladesh ?
If you actually watched the video, you will know they are made in AUSTRALIA.
Australian made uniforms? Camo on shore duty? Camo at sea? I don’t see any pattern, Sir (said Capt Willard to Col Kurtz)
Very stylish! Glad to see our service men looking good
Why was this video made this feel like the navy hasn’t done anything and they needed to justify their budget or something
So no more Canvas No8's . Yay . Being entirely Domestic made is Excellent .
I still don't understand the reasoning behind the shoulder mounted rank slides, I personally find them very inconvenient and makes it harder to see the rank.
interestingly the Royal Navy have just switched back to rank on shoulders as they said the rank on the chest meant it could only been seen from front.
Look's good.
Brilliant
idk why i got this reccomend but i hope you aussie sailors will enjoy the new fit :)
What a waste of taxpayer money. Why would navy personnel need camouflage ? This is nothing more then a silly fashion statement - Taxpayer dollars can be better spent on improving the lethality of the Navy. Ridiculous.
great for going full aussy companies
I am happy and fine if they are made in Australia but why cant they all be just multicam if they need camoflague
It's a custom variant of multicam like the other branches, and for the Airforce and Navy it's less camouflage and more uniformity and recognition.
Looks great
the camo helps the submariners hide i am guessing lol
They look good. The AIr Force has blue camo
camo at sea looks ridiculous,
it robs the navy of the aesthetic prestige it once held for an absolutely negligible advantage ,
seems like good way to reduce the size of the recruit pool.
I wish I still had my DPNUs
Why are the navy boys allowed to walk around in battle dress, in the army its chargeable?
Looks awesome!
Looking good, as long as its truly Aussie made!
The Fabric is from China though??
Im glad some one tested quality of the shrinkage on the fabric I wonder how much money the government lost??
It which LNP mate owns the company or shares.
Our sailors look more and more like Americans every year.
The US Navy wears solid blue coveralls now. They stopped with the terrible looking blue camo a few years ago.
Thank goodness. Made in 🇦🇺 was
Why does the Navy need a new uniform ? What’s wrong with Navy Whites eh ?
That looks sick great work
What does sick mean?
@@clairevero presumably it means ‘awful’
happy pride month navy
Mmm is imade in Aussie or indoniaea??
Aust
@@Semajsenrab72 thanks...hope it stays that way..
It looks so good
Navy doesn't need navy camo
Kinda waisting money
Good one Aust.
never trust a man in a suit
Great uniform, but I'll state the bleeding obvious, to all in defence, it's a navy uniform, IT DOESN'T NEED A WHITE ENSIGN ON IT, though that be a tradition.
aaaaand they can't spell multi
The new uniforms have already proven themselves to be highly effective when 2 sailors fell overboard from the HMAS Canberra and couldn’t be found. 🤣
Now see if you can build nuke subs... Be honest and admit that AUKUS will involve refurbed USN LA class.
I hope the 688 are left in the cupboard, we were beating them in the 80's.
Dcpu's
PLEASE 😈 LEARN TO FIGHT THE CHINESE IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THEY ARE COMING NO NEGOTIATION .....
Old more likely awesome
I SUPPOSE YOU LOOK IMPORTANT 😈 😈..
What a waste of taxpayers money.
How?
Like most organisations from factories, to mines etc.. uniforms are replaced every couple of years.. they just get a new pattern
@@jimmymifsud1 your uniform, not dress uniform ,shout reflect your environment in the adf . No navy guys uniform really matters on a ship, let's be honest unless they are clearance divers . Waisted money 💰, paint the ship 🚢
