Description
RMSL proposes a novel spotting round with an impact ignitable pyrotechnic filled core. RMSL has also created an impact ignitable breaching round with a similar design and has developed the technology to a TRL-7. RMSL leveraged its experience in impact ignitable munitions and demonstrated the feasibility of an impact ignitable round in the previous Phase I effort. The proposed spotting round houses an impact ignitable pyrotechnic formulation designed to produce a bright flash upon impact. The pyrotechnic formulation will be tailored to produce highly visible color flashes that may be used to differentiate units, designate targets, or send signals to other friendly forces on the battlefield. The formulation’s sensitivity would be tuned to ignite reliably on hard and soft surfaces. The proposed Phase II effort will focus on designing, optimizing, and validating these prototypes for the 7.62x51mm NATO, .338 Norma, and 6.5 Creedmoor platforms.
