Abstract

An obscuration cloud generation device (100) is disclosed. It may comprise a container (104) for holding an obscuration cloud generating canister (110), wherein a composition for forming the obscuration cloud is emitted from the obscuration cloud generating canister (110) in response to activating the obscuration cloud generating canister (110). It may further comprise a housing (101) having a frame (103) wherein the container (101) is removably held inside the frame (103). The housing (101) has an opening (105) and a door (102), the door (102) being movable between a closed state for covering the opening (105) and an open state for emission of the composition from the device (100) via the opening (105). The opening (105) is shaped and sized to allow the container (104) to be extracted from the housing (101) through the opening (105) when the door (102) is open to replace the obscuration cloud generating canister (110).
