SMOKE/NOVEL EFFECT MUN
Abstract
The project investigates and evaluates obscurant technologies that degrade threat force surveillance sensors and defeat the enemy's target acquisition devices, missile guidance, and directed energy weapons. This project investigates advanced infra-red (IR) and multi-spectral obscurant materials that provide effective, affordable, and efficient screening of deployed forces, while being safe and environmentally acceptable. Additionally, it researches and investigates forensic analysis technology in explosives and explosives-related chemical signatures, and develops and validates field sampling and forensics methods for use in a forward-deployed laboratory. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), Edgewood, MD.
