This TOP provides basic information to facilitate test planning, conducting, and reporting, and to achieve standardized chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) contamination survivability testing of small items of mission-essential (ME) Army materiel. Small items, for example, include personal gear, small arms, radios, optical devices, small electrical generators, and small packages of materiel. This TOP describes typical facilities, equipment, and procedures used to contaminate small items of equipment, sample for contamination ...
This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) provides basic information to facilitate planning, conducting, and reporting of large item interiors testing such as tactical vehicles, fixed and rotor wing tactical aircraft, vans, shelters, building interiors, shipboard interiors, and cargo aircraft interiors. This TOP provides standard methods for chemical, biological, and radiological contamination survivability (CBRCS) testing of interior surfaces of military materiel. It is designed to provide results to determine if large items ...
U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), West Desert Test Center (WDTC), specializes in planning, conducting, and analyzing results of developmental and production tests. Areas of expertise include chemical and biological (CB) defense systems, smoke and obscurants, materiel and delivery systems, munitions and incendiary devices, meteorological research and modeling, environmental characterization and remediation technology testing, and technology transfer to include specialized hands-on CB training for military and civil support teams. The ...
On February 6, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt withdrew an initial 126,720 acres of Utah land from the public domain for use by the War Department. Six days later Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) was established, with official activation on March 1; testing was underway by that summer. After World War II the facility was deactivated, but DPG resumed active status in 1950 and a boom of construction and testing followed. ...
This Test Operations Procedure (TOP) provides the standard process for preparation, planning, conduct, and reporting for field testing of collective protection (ColPro) systems. This process is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile and stationary ColPro systems under operational field conditions during exposure to an agent using a simulant vapor cloud. The evaluation is based on a comparison of the simulant challenge concentration and any simulant breakthrough concentration within the ...
This TOP provides basic information to facilitate planning, conducting, and reporting and to standardize chemical and biological (CB) contamination survivability testing of external surfaces of military materiel such as combat vehicles, vans, shelters, and large items of packaged materiel. It is designed to provide results to determine if large items of mission essential (ME) equipment have met applicable CB contamination survivability requirements. This TOP describes typical facilities, equipment, and procedures ...
The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) is a point chemical warfare agent (CWA) detector designed to alert the warfighter to a range of chemical threats. The JCAD 2 test chamber was upgraded and tested in five phases. The dissemination system was upgraded and tested. The prototype dissemination system was set up and tested. Test operations were conducted. The JCAD chambers were upgraded. Air streams were merged and preconditioned. All test ...
