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 this SBIR program, Triton Systems working with a military supplier of obscurant materials, proposes to demonstrate an innovative approach to manufacture a family obscurants based on optical metamaterials. The new materials will have much higher scattering efficiency than currently used materials, along with unique tailorable properties such as windows of transparency.
