Pyrotechnics. DGM/1735 — Defence General Munitions Project Team (DGM PT) has a potential requirement for a hand launched store capable of producing a smoke and flame signal for sea marking purposes. The store will be deployed from fixed wing aircraft and must produce a signal on the surface of the sea for a minimum of 40 minutes. The signal must be seen from a distance of several miles during day and night.

This store shall be reliable, safe and suitable for service, comply with UK and UK MOD quality assurance and technical specification requirements and capable of meeting the User Requirement for Marine Location Marker. The store will therefore be required to pass the UK MOD Safety and Suitability for Service (S3) trials to assess the store's suitability in regard to in-service storage, transport and use.
