Development of Obscurants

Abstract

This project will investigate and evaluate obscurants (i.e., materials) and obscurant technologies that are designed to 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, and multi-spectral obscurant materials that will provide effective, safe, and efficient screening of deployed units and platforms. Work in this project compliments Program Element (PE) 0602144A (Ground Technology) / Project DG2 (Advanced Development of Obscurants). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Chemical Biological Center (CBC).
