The system utilizes a command circuit located inside the vehicle for using the vehicles power source to select smoke pot operations.

Two power lines are arranged from the command circuit inside the vehicle to a control circuit located at the exterior of the hull for operating the smoke pot control system. A minimum number of apertures are required in leading the power lines to the control circuit. The control circuit activates the selected operations of the smoke pots.
