## Description

The Joint Product Manager for CBRN Layered Effects is responsible for enabling and enhancing the survivability of our Joint Warfighters so they can fight and win across all domains in a CBRN-contested environment. As the acquisition leader in mobile analytics, our portfolio provides transformative solutions—including advanced reconnaissance systems, sensors, and mobile analytical laboratories—that ensure our military is safeguarded against chemical and biological threats.

To support this mission, the Government is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify sources for the Screening Obscuration Module - Multispectral (SOM-M). The SOM-M is envisioned as a modular, man-portable, ground-emplaced obscuration and screening system for both mounted and dismounted use. The goal is to acquire a system that produces a multi-spectral obscurant cloud. The technical performance targets for this capability are detailed in Section 3.0 of this document.

The Government is open to solutions that include existing commercial systems, modified systems, or the rapid development of a new system and/or obscurant materials. The purpose of this RFI is to survey industry capabilities in developing, testing, and manufacturing modular Multispectral Screening Obscuration Modules (SOM). The USG seeks to identify innovative solutions and assess industry readiness to meet emerging operational needs.

The SOM is envisioned as a modular, man-portable, ground-emplaced obscuration and screening system designed for both mounted and dismounted use.
