This was found with a bunch of ADSIDS type equipment (see previous posts). It vaguely resembles the old VIPER rocket system that was in competition to replace the LAW back in the 1980s. There are the standard markings on the motor, no date, no nomenclature. Otherwise the only markings are serial numbers and such, nothing aiding in an ID. The rocket motor has a blue band, the body has a bronze band (not to be used in a delivery system). The nose has a small hole which looks like a shorting pin or electrical connection attaches.

Body is 68mm in diameter, head on the wide spots is 70mm. Length is around 65cm. Any ideas?
