The US Military Can Use Digitally Sequenced Smell Technologies for Special Forces Teams

Perhaps you have heard that a new up-and-coming technology will soon revolutionize the gaming, movie entertainment, and personal tech markets by delivering the appropriate smell to the user of the given scene or game? It's an old take off of the 1960's technology called smell-o-matic. It works something like this; there are certain chemicals which when combined a certain way create a scent, and the mixture and ration of these scents creates a specific smell.

If you are watching a scene in a movie where folks are sitting in an Indian Cuisine restaurant the device would push the curry aroma into the room. If the user in a computer game was "drifting" in the "Fast and Furious 5" video game, the smell might be burning rubber. Okay now you understand what we are talking about, and the companies bringing this forward, will most likely "license out the production of the units themselves to someone like Samsung, Motorola, or so on," states Troy LaClaire, a fellow think tanker type.

Okay so, yes, that makes sense, and did you know that DARPA, had been coming up with ingenious chemical sniffing devices to detect explosive compounds too? Well, since they have contractors that make makes electronic smell Sniffer sensors, and they understand the science behind it all, then maybe our military can use this for our special forces?

Now then, I think this is a good application for mostly into military tech, along with the great commercial applications, because once you sequenced the digital chemicals for creating a sniffing device sensor, all you do is reverse that and make a chemical assimilation smell machine - piece of cake. But did you know that this is also a great idea for a decoy system?

In other words let's say a Navy seal team went in, and they were having trouble getting extracted, and the enemy sent out dogs to catch them, meanwhile the bad guys are trying to get away from the enemy dogs, now they can put out fake scents or even confuse the dogs, by launching, tiny rockets, away from their position at a low trajectory, and therefore it will spread the scent in the wrong direction. Troy La Claire stated;

"Well, in the case of the Seal team, since the dogs generally follow the scent they start with, you would want the rockets to contain actual cells from the team itself, and then have a way for the team to cover up/change their smell."
