SMOKE/OBSCURANT SYSTEM
Abstract
Project supports Screening Obscuration Module (SOM), and Projected and Generated Obscuration Capability (PGOC), 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. This program element supports critical management studies and analysis 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.
