LUMINESCENT SMOKE GENERATION FEASIBILITY STUDY

Abstract

The smoke fuels described in this report serve, in conjunction with the X3H14 smoke generator, to accomplish smoke clouds which are sensitive to ultraviolet light excitation; that is, the smoke cloud is luminescent when exposed to GE BLB 40 W and GE BL 40 W bulbs. The smoke clouds are luminescent and dissipate cleanly after a few seconds. This report covers the program of literature and bench research conducted in development of these formulations.
