Smoke, Obscurant and Target Defeating Sys - Eng Dev

Abstract

Project 0604609A supports the conducting of System Development and Demonstration (SDD) for the development and improvement of an array of obscurant systems to improve survivability of the combined armed forces, complement combined weapon systems, and enhance force effectiveness and combat power. This program element supports development of the Projected/Generated Obscuration Capability (PGOC), including the Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) initiatives. This program element supports critical management studies and analyses that are conducted on a continuing basis to ensure that engineering and manufacturing development efforts are targeted against the emerging threat. Program element supports the conduct of SDD in smoke and obscurant agents, munitions, and devices to improve the survivability of the combined armed forces, complement combined weapon systems, and enhance force effectiveness and combat power. U.S. 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 smoke systems. The smoke obscuration technologies supported by this program element enhance smoke systems as force multipliers. This program has no FY12 Base or OCO RDTE request.
