Covert taggant dispersing grenade

A method for dispersing a taggant in an atmosphere prior to an impact, comprising:nlaunching, over a target, a grenade comprising:na pyrotechnic charge; anda bladder containing the taggant and disposed within a shell, the bladder separating the taggant from the pyrotechnic charge, the taggant being invisible to a human eye under ambient lighting conditions;receiving, prior to launching the grenade over the target, a selection of a particular fuse of a plurality of fuses located within the grenade, each fuse of the plurality of fuses having a different burn time; andactivating the pyrotechnic charge to cause overpressure of the taggant to burst the bladder in the atmosphere over the target, thereby dispersing the taggant over the target.
