## Description

The Joint Services (Navy, Air Force, & Army) requires a special material decoy (SMD) countermeasure to use independently or in conjunction with onboard countermeasures. The current SMD (pyrophoric) countermeasures were developed and produced by Alloy Surfaces, which has intellectual proprietary rights to the decoys. Alloy surfaces have decided to close their business which leaves the DoW without a producer of pyrophoric countermeasures. Without having an active supplier or a GOV owned TDP of pyrophoric devices, the DoW has a major need to develop a new source for this crucial countermeasure capability.
