The purpose of DTC Test 70-C was to characterize the naturally occurring airborne particulates in a marine atmosphere for background data applicable to the operation of biological detectors under development and to detection concepts under consideration.
The purpose of DTC Test 70-74 was to determine the viability decay, and variability thereof,of microbiological organisms impacted on microfilaments in the Controlled Environmental Mobile Facility (a closed system) at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, under a variety of environmental conditions.
The objectives of DTC Test 73-30 were to determine viability decay of selected microorganisms impacted on microfilaments and exposed to a spectrum of sunlight conditions, and to obtain general trend information from a limited comparison of biological aerosol decay data using the microfilament and the free-floating aerosol techniques.
The purpose of DTC Test 70-11, Phase I, Subtest 3 was to provide deposition data for theadvanced development test of the TMU-28/B spray system fitted with the MLU-40/B cutterassembly and to evaluate the F-100 and/or the F-4 Series Aircraft-TMU-28/U spray systemwith agent simulants bis (2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphite and trioctyl phosphate.
The purposes of the Blue Tango test were to determine the decay rates of Serratia marcescensand Escherichia coli aerosols when released at ground level into a tropical rain forestenvironment, and when released from above the canopy of a tropical rain forest.
The purpose of DTC Test 70-11, Phase I, Subtest 4 was to obtain data on the dissemination characteristics of the BIGEYE Dissemination Test Vehicle (DTV) containing agent VXsimulant payload and to determine if the BIGEYE DTV could be used to obtain field data forevaluating hazards to US forces after a massive chemical attack with a ballistic weapon.
The original objectives of Errand Boy were to determine the degree biological agent aerosols penetrate a ship’s interior and the extent of any associated surface contamination hazard under various combinations of shipboard collective protection and ventilation systems; and to evaluate the effectiveness of various decontamination procedures for ...
The purpose of DTC Test 74-10, Phase I was to evaluate and assess the vulnerability of amarine amphibious force in LVTP-7 vehicles when subjected to selected forms of chemicalattack.
The purpose of DTC Test 74-10, Phase II was to assess the performance degradation of a marine wing weapons unit in a simulated toxic agent environment.
The purpose of Folded Arrow was to study over-ocean downwind travel of a biological aerosol material when disseminated from a submarine-biological system; to demonstrate the submarine weapon system capability to carry out an effective biological attack against an island complex; and to study the effects of a biological attack against a naval port ...
The purpose of the Half Note test was to determine biological decay rates of vegetativenonpathogens in a marine environment and to compare the field decay rates with chamberdecay rates when conducted under similar conditions.
The purpose of Big Tom was to evaluate the feasibility of a biological attack against an islandcomplex and to evaluate doctrine and tactics for delivery of such an attack. Test personnel investigated the diffusion and downwind travel of biological
The primary purpose of the High Low test was to assess the vulnerability of ships toan enveloping cloud of toxic G-series nerve agent.
The primary test objective of Cliff Rose (DTC Test 68-52) was to evaluate three CS weapon systems in tropical and semi-tropical environments: the BLU-52A/B chemical bomb; the CS2, XM28 helicopter sling-mounted dispenser; and, the XM-920 E-2 fuze and burster-bomb system.
