Smoke, Obscurant and Target Defeating Sys-Adv Dev

Abstract

SOM: 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 to improve platform survivability and soldier protection levels of maneuver forces on the battlefield. 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 sustained generated obscuration technology. SOM will be man portable and modular to facilitate quick mounting on manned/unmanned platforms and dismounted operations. NBCRV: This program upgrades the Stryker Nuclear Biological Chemical Radiological Vehicle Sensor Suite (NBCRVSS)for increased sensitivity, chemical detection at increased maneuver speeds, and increased reliability. The NBCRVSS consists of a chemical point detector for solid, liquid, and vapor Chemical Warfare Agents, a biological point detection system, a Chemical Vapor Sampling System, a Training Aids, Devices, and Simulation System, and the Sensor Processing Group. The NBCRVSS provides the Stryker NBCRV the ability to detect, identify, collect, report, and mark NBC hazards. NBCRVSS funding is expected to move to a separate Program Element during the FY16 President's Budget cycle. It will be reflected under PE 655038, Project Code EQ7.
