Research abstract
The objective of this proposal is to design and develop an innovative smoke/obscurant system that can be used to provide smoke from either an individual deployment, hand-held 40mm or 60mm grenade, or a vehicle mounted area grenade projector that uses the same grenade and will provide sufficient obscurant protection to conceal a team or vehicles.This SBIR requests that a single smoke/obscurant grenade be researched that can be man-portable and be deployed by hand toss as well as load into a discharger and be fired by the launcher to provide vehicle and area protection to Special Forces. With this capability the individual soldier will be able to toss the grenade into any enclosure to obscure a room or be able to use the same grenade to load into a portable modular launcher system for team or vehicle egress protection.
