Briefings
The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) tested a new smokescreen on October 29, 2026, designed to shield soldiers from visual inspection, night vision, infrared sensors, and radar beams. The test demonstrated the device's ability to obscure multiple sensor types simultaneously, though specific performance metrics and long-term durability data remain unconfirmed.
Key points
- A new smokescreen developed by DEVCOM CBC was tested on October 29, 2026, successfully obscuring visual inspection, night vision, infrared sensors, and radar beams.
- The device's effectiveness against multiple sensor types was demonstrated during the test, but specific performance metrics and long-term durability data remain unconfirmed.
Context
The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) is responsible for developing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear capabilities. This test represents a significant advancement in battlefield stealth technology, aiming to protect personnel from various detection methods.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single test date and does not include long-term durability data, performance metrics, or specific operational outcomes. The device's effectiveness against multiple sensor types was demonstrated, but specific performance metrics and long-term durability data remain unconfirmed.
