Vismod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vismod (abbreviation of visually modified or visual modification) is a vehicle, aircraft, or other object that has been altered to simulate military equipment used by an enemy force, in order to make military exercises more realistic.[1] "Vismod" also refers to the specific alterations made for this purpose. The term is used by the elements of the United States Department of Defense, who use vismod during training, sometimes with specialized OpFor (opposing force) military units. Vismod is also sometimes used in filmmaking and television production to simulate real-world military equipment required for a scene that cannot be procured due to financial or other complications.
