A method of producing a visible one-way screening smoke is disclosed. The thod includes substantially concurrently deploying into ambient atmosphere a first smoke cloud containing a light absorbent material such as carbon black and a second smoke cloud containing a white nonabsorbent visible screening smoke substantially parallel to and apart from the first cloud so that a two layer obscurant cloud having a one-way visibility effect is created in which visibility is substantially maintained only in the direction of the first cloud through the second cloud.

Method for creating a one way visible screening smoke

A minimum hazard visual screening cloud is formed comprised of an aerosol fine spheres of a titanium dioxide composition, in which the particles are of submicron diameter. The cloud is formed by aerosolizing a compact mass of titanium dioxide spheres of submicron diameter through the action of explosively bursting such compact mass in the atmosphere at the desired cloud location.
