BIG Z1776
Baboon with a MAAWS
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A commonly-used tool of the CRAF, used for masking movements on the battlefield from anything from enemy ground troops to enemy aircraft. Beyond that, this device is fairly simple in operation and in design. The most complex part of this device is its installation, because it has to be tied into the exhaust system in order to function.
- Intent: A smoke generator for armored vehicles for the Crossroads Republic Armed Forces for masking movements and positions.
- Image Source: Similar to look to this
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Crossroads Defense Industries
- Affiliation: Crossroads Republic Armed Forces (Closed-Market)
- Model: Misty-III Smoke Generator
- Modularity: Yes, this can be mounted on any vehicle which has the room, and the smoke generating compounds can be swapped by the end user.
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Durasteel, Micropulverised Brass and Graphite Flakes, Titanium Dioxide Particles, Terephthalic Acid Particles, and Carbon Fiber Particles
- Device is a simple smoke generator, with the primary complex part of the machine being its complex cocktail of chemicals which are combined with superheated air and expelled to form a thick, acrid smoke which can mask IR and thermal signatures inside and behind it as well as throwing up interference to EHF bands which many fire control systems rely on.
- Persists a long time.
- Can be carried by the wind (Matter of perspective)
- Masks IR, thermal, and visual imagery devices as well as some EHF fire control sensors.
- Begins to billow quickly.
- With enough of them and enough fuel they can create a battlefield-masking fog.
- Easy to make and refill.
- Can be carried by the wind (Matter of perspective)
- Requires replenishment after use.
- Somewhat toxic.
- Doesn't stop ballistic weapons.
- Can only mask a retreating vehicle if the wind is at a calm.
- Rather cumbersome to install.
