TECHNIQUES IN SMOKE APPLICATION

Abstract

The objective is to develop nontoxic, noncorrosive, and nonirritating aluminum alkyl-based smokes and a delivery system adaptable to the SUU-13/A system for low-altitude, high-speed aircraft. Quantitative evaluation of their smoke densities were made. Two agents were subjected to storage surveillance tests at -40 degrees F, ambient temperature and +160 degrees F for a period of three months. Two large-scale field tests with units and agents demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the smoke dissemination technique.
