Many of today's weapons systems use surveillance and target acquisition (STA) devices which can exploit the infrared and millimetre wavebands of the electromagnetic spectrum. Designing obscurant devices which can provide screening against such systems often results in complicated or costly solutions. A device capable of mitigating these problems is described wherein an obscurant device (10), and more particularly a device capable of providing screening against the visual, infrared and millimetre wave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, comprises an obscurant payload, a burster charge capable, when detonated by a detonator, of dis dis-seminating said payload and a payload casing wherein some or all of the payload casing is configured to disintegrate upon actuation of the burster charge and to act thereafter as an obscurant.

Beaucoup de systèmes d'armes actuels utilisent des dispositifs de surveillance et d'acquisition de cible (STA) pouvant exploiter les gammes d'ondes infrarouges proches du millimètre du spectre électromagnétique. La conception de dispositifs obscurcissants fournissant une protection contre lesdits systèmes d'arme offre souvent des solutions compliquées et coûteuses. L'invention concerne un dispositif capable d'atténuer ces problèmes, notamment un dispositif obscurcissant (10), et plus particulièrement, un dispositif capable de fournir une protection contre les régions d'ondes visuelles, infrarouges, de l'ordre du millimètre du spectre électromagnétique. Ce dispositif comprend une charge utile obscurcissante, une charge d'éclatement capable, lorsqu'on la fait exploser à l'aide d'un détonateur, de disséminer ladite charge utile, et une enveloppe de charge utile, une partie ou la totalité de cette enveloppe étant configurée de façon à se désintégrer lors de l'actionnement de la charge d'éclatement, puis à agir comme obscurcissant.
