Smoke, Obscurant and Target Defeating Sys-Adv Dev

Abstract

Project supports Screening Obscuration Module (SOM), Projected and Generated Obscuration System (PGOC), and Screening Obscuration Devices (SOD) efforts in the development and improvement of an array of obscurant agents, smoke grenade munitions, and devices to improve survivability of the combined armed forces, support extended range capability, complement combined weapon systems, and enhance force effectiveness and combat power. This program element supports critical management studies and analyses that are conducted on a continuing basis to ensure that Technology Development efforts are targeted against the emerging threat. US Forces must be able to effectively neutralize and degrade energy weapon systems and electro-optical systems/smart weapons that operate in the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Improvements are sought across the entire multi-spectral range from visual through infrared (IR) and millimeter wavelengths (MMW) radar for incorporation into self-protection using generated and launched smoke systems.
