Environmentally Benign Battlefield Effects Black Smoke Simulator

Abstract

The Pyrotechnic Research and Technology Branch of Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) is developing an environmentally benign black smoke composition for use in the Battlefield Effects Simulator. The black smoke simulator meets the outstanding requirements for use in battlefield training applications. A black smoke formulation candidate (Figure 1) has been proven in the laboratory and is currently under system demonstration at the production level.
