SMOKE/OBSCURANT SYSTEM
Abstract
Project supports Screening Obscuration Module (SOM) in the development and improvement of an array of obscurant agents, 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 will be man portable with plug and play technology to facilitate quick mounting and dismounted. This program element supports critical management studies,operational assessments,testing, prototyping, 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.
