Smoke And Obscurants Advanced Technology
Abstract
The project matures and demonstrates obscurant technologies with potential to enhance personnel/platform survivability by degrading threat force surveillance sensors and defeating the enemy's target acquisition devices, missile guidance, and directed energy weapons. Dissemination systems for new and improved obscurants are developed with the goal of providing efficient and safe screening of deployed forces. This project also matures and demonstrates improved detection of explosives and hazardous materials by Soldiers and Small Units. Work in this PE is related to, and fully coordinated with, PE 0602622A (Chemical, Smoke and Equipment Defeating Technology) and PE 0603606A, project 608 (Countermine & Barrier Development). This project sustains Army science and technology efforts supporting the Ground Maneuver portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed and managed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC), Edgewood, MD.
