Chemical, Smoke and Equipment Defeating Technology

Abstract

The objective of this program element (PE) is to investigate and evaluate obscurant technologies to increase personnel and platform survivability and develop and validate forensic analysis methods for military and homemade explosive devices, including their precursors and residue. This PE pursues research in materials science and dissemination methodologies and mechanisms and technologies and techniques to enable forensic analysis of explosive signatures (project 552). Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0603004A/project L97 (Smoke and Obscurants Advanced Technology) and PE 0603606A/project 608 (Countermine & Barrier Development). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. This work is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), Edgewood, MD.
