Description

Optical obscurants have been a part of warfare for millennia. Today however, the electromagnetic complexity of the battlespace has given rise to much more complex, multispectral requirements. In the Phase 1 SBIR program, Triton Systems working with a military supplier of obscurant materials, demonstrated proof of concept for an innovative approach to manufacture a new family of obscurants based on optical metamaterials. The new materials have much higher scattering efficiency than currently used materials, along with unique tailorable properties such as windows of transparency. Phase 2 focuses on scale up of the manufacturing process for this new family of obscurants.
