Army Looking for Infrared Smoke Screens
Abstract:
You only need to have played Spy Hunter once or twice to realize how awesome it is to be able to throw up a smoke screen. But these days, even relatively-unsophisticated bad guys can have thermal viewers and heat-seeking missiles. Which is why the Army is looking for a smoke screen that will hide soldiers in the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. "Breakthroughs in vapor phase synthesis and nanotechnology," may be needed to pull off the trick, the Army warns.
