Chemical, Smoke and Equipment Defeating Technology

Abstract

This 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 (Smoke/Novel Effects Munitions) 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 (Weapons and Munitions Advanced Technology), Project L97 (Smoke and Obscurants Advanced Technology) and PE 0603606A (Landmine Warfare and Barrier Advanced Technology), Project 608 (Countermine & Bar Dev). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This work is performed by the United States Army Futures Command
