Smoke, Obscurity and Target Defeating Sys AD

Abstract

The Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) will provide a man portable mountable and dismountable medium area visual screening obscuration capability for the war fighter. The SOM will increase platform survivability and soldier protection levels of maneuver forces by degrading enemy forces ability to detect US targets in the visual and near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The SOM will utilize miniaturized obscuration generator technology to produce an effective visual obscuration cloud to screen against enemy forces. This effort replaces obsolete technology used in older smoke pots. The individual Soldier or team will employ the SOM devices on open and complex terrain. The Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) program provides a Sensor Suite Upgrade (SSU) for the Stryker NBCRV. The NBCRV Sensor Suite is the Mission Equipment Package for the Stryker NBCRV and consists of chemical point detectors, a standoff chemical vapor detector, a biological point detector, a chemical vapor sampling system, radiological detectors, and the Sensor Processing Group. NBCRV SS provides the Stryker NBCRV the ability to detect, identify, collect, report, and mark NBC Hazards. The Stryker NBCRV SSU will improve chemical, biological and radiological and nuclear detection and identification capabilities, and reduce sustainment costs over the current system. A Chemical Surface Detector (CSD) will be developed to replace the Dual Wheel Sampling System to increase maneuver sped when conducting NBC missions and increase reliability. .
