Chemical, Smoke and Equipment Defeating Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) investigates and evaluates 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. Project 552 pursues research in materials science as well as dissemination methodologies, mechanisms, technologies, and techniques to enable forensic analysis of explosive signatures. 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 Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This work is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), Edgewood, MD.
