SMOKE/OBSCURANT SYSTEM
Abstract
Project supports Screening Obscuration Module (SOM), Projected and Generated Obscuration System (PGOC), and Screening Obscuration Devices (SOD) efforts in the development and improvement of an array of obscurant agents, smoke grenade munitions, and devices to improve survivability of the combined armed forces, support extended range capability, complement combined weapon systems, and enhance force effectiveness and combat power. SOM is a small smoke generator that degrades the visual through near infrared portion of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum. PGOC will integrate an obscuration generator and grenade launcher(s) onto an unmanned platform to provide the capability of obscuring the Visual/IR spectrum. SOD-Visual-Restricted is a handheld bursting grenade, similar in size to the fielded smoke hand grenades. It creates a nearly instantaneous cloud, when the fuze initiates a burster that ruptures the grenade body disbursing the obscurant. This program element supports critical management studies and analyses that are conducted on a continuing basis to ensure that Technology Development efforts are targeted against the emerging threat. US Forces must be able to effectively neutralize and degrade energy weapon systems and electro-optical systems/smart weapons that operate in the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Improvements are sought across the entire multi-spectral range from visual through infrared (IR) and millimeter wavelengths (MMW) radar for incorporation into self-protection using generated and launched smoke systems. FY2010 and FY2011 funds to be executed in line with acquisition strategy. PGOC Milestone A approved 2Q FY2011. Milestone B scheduled for 4Q FY2012.
