SMOKE/OBSCURANT SYSTEM
Abstract
Screening Obscuration Module (SOM): US Forces must be able to effectively neutralize and degrade enemy weapon systems and electro-optical systems/smart weapons that operate in the full range of the electromagnetic spectrum to improve platform survivability and soldier protection levels of maneuver forces on the battlefield. SOM provides visual through near-infrared screening of the electromagnetic spectrum. SOM will be man-portable and modular to facilitate quick mounting on manned/unmanned platforms and dismounted operations. The SOM replaces out-dated 1930s technology Combat smoke pots that are safety hazards containing potential carcinogenic constituents and are fire hazards. Combat smoke pots lack a turn on/off ability, are unsafe to mount on combat vehicles and produce a smoke cloud that is too small, and too short in duration to meet current requirements, SOM addresses these issues. NBCRV: This program upgrades the Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle Sensor Suite (NBCRVSS). The NBCRVSS is the Mission Equipment Package for the Stryker Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV) and consists of chemical point detectors, a standoff chemical vapor detector, a biological point detector, a Chemical Vapor Sampling System, and a Sensor Processing group. The NBCRVSS provides the Stryker NBCRV the ability to detect, identify, collect, report, and mark Nuclear Biological Chemical (NBC) Hazards. Starting in FY16, a Chemical Surface Detector will be developed to replace the Dual Wheel Sampling System to increase maneuverability of the Stryker NBCRV and increase reliability. Starting in FY17, a Chemical Mass Spectrometer will be developed to replace the Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer Block II to increase reliability, sensitivity, and the number of chemicals detected. Also in FY17 an update to the Joint Service Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD) will be developed to increase range and probability of detection by reducing its field of view.
