76 mm Smoke Grenade Launcher System TDG-76-SGL — 4–16 Launchers, 90°–360° Coverage

The TEDEG 76 mm Smoke Grenade Launcher System (TDG-76-SGL) is a remotely fired smoke screening system for military vehicles and platforms. Its job is to block the enemy's line of sight, conceal the movement of units and give the vehicle a safe window to manoeuvre.

On the modern battlefield, keeping units concealed and protected is among the highest priorities. TDG-76-SGL was developed for exactly that need and is used in both defensive and offensive tactical operations. The system can be integrated into land and naval vehicles. Each platform is fitted with 4 to 16 launchers, configured to provide 90°, 120°, 180° or 360° smoke coverage.

All launchers are managed from a remote control unit inside the vehicle. The operator can fire launchers individually, in groups or all at once, and can switch between manual and automatic modes. With CANBUS (J1939), the system communicates with the vehicle's other electronic systems over the same data bus.

Launcher and electrical data:

Environmental resistance:

These three standards bear directly on the system's place on the vehicle: MIL-STD-461G covers electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC), MIL-STD-810G environmental resistance, and MIL-STD-1275E the characteristics of the 28 VDC military vehicle power bus.

Configuration and control:

• Flexible protection angle: 90°, 120°, 180° or 360° smoke screen around the vehicle
• Scalable layout: Minimum 4, maximum 16 launchers
• Firing options: Individually, in groups or all launchers at once
• Operating modes: Manual and automatic
• Vehicle integration: Communication with vehicle electronics over CANBUS (J1939)
• Fast response: The advanced firing mechanism allows smoke to be deployed without delay in an emergency

Remote control unit:

The remote control unit has a CAN-Bus communication infrastructure and is fitted with military-grade connectors. The front panel carries the following elements:

The arm/safe select switch and status LED show the operator at a glance whether the system is ready to fire. The ammunition indicator shows whether ammunition is loaded.

Cleaning and maintenance kit:

The system's maintenance kit contains a wire brush, a hex key set, an ammunition test simulator, snap ring pliers and a cleaning brush. It brings together the basic tools needed to clean the launchers and carry out routine checks on the system.

• Military operations: Concealing unit movements and obstructing enemy vision, in both offensive and defensive actions
• Border security: Concealment and security in border areas; quick response to threats and support in preventing smuggling and unauthorised entry
• Tactical training: Realistic scenarios on training areas to raise unit readiness
• Military land vehicles: A smoke screen configurable from 90° to 360° around the vehicle
• Naval vehicles: Integrated smoke protection for naval platforms

What sets TDG-76-SGL apart is that the number of launchers and the protection angle can be chosen to suit the platform. Rather than designing separate smoke grenade launcher systems for each vehicle type, the same launcher and control architecture scales from a 4-launcher directional screen to full 360° coverage with 16 launchers.

CANBUS (J1939) integration lets the system communicate over the vehicle's existing data bus. The 16–32 VDC input range and MIL-STD-1275E resistance suit the 28 VDC vehicle power network. The zinc-nickel coating, 95% humidity rating and −40 °C … +70 °C operating range are designed for harsh field conditions.
