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 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 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 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.
The purposes of Red Oak, Phase I were to determine the height-of-burst distributions of the 121A1 (155mm) chemical projectiles and the M55 (115mm) rocket warheads when fired into a jungle environment, and to determine the effects of fragmentation from bursting chemical munitions.
TThe first objective of the Yellow Leaf test was to determine the effectiveness of the M143 bomblet when employed against targets in a jungle environment. The second objective was to determine mathematically, and based on data obtained from the Yellow Leaf test, the area coverage to be expected from the detonation of a US Navy MISTEYE I weapons system or a US Army SERGEANT M211 biological warhead over a jungle canopy.
The purpose of the Big Jack, Phase A test was to measure penetration of a jungle canopy bybiological and chemical agent simulants disseminated from an operational weapon system.
The purpose of the Big Jack, Phase B test was to obtain information on the degree of penetration of jungle canopy by a chemical warfare agent simulant disseminated from an operational type weapon system.
The purposes of Pin Point were to evaluate the riot-control-agent CS-dispensing, man- portable E8 launcher and the aerially-delivered CBU-19/A and CBU-30/A munitions for area-coverage-time-dosage relationships in a tropical jungle environment.
The objective of Swamp Oak was to determine area-time-dosage relationships as a function of burst height and agent diffusion characteristics, within subarctic forested areas, for Sarin nerve agent-filled artillery munitions in temperatures ranging from -1ºC to -18ºC.
The purpose of Big Tom was to evaluate the feasibility of a biological attack against an island complex and to evaluate doctrine and tactics for delivery of such an attack.
The purposes of Pine Ridge were to ascertain the percentage of BLU-19/B23 and BLU-20/B23 bomblets that function and to determine their dissemination points in or below a jungle canopy; to determine area-time-dosage and diffusion characteristics of agent BZ and Sarin nerve agent when disseminated from single bomblets; and, to estimate the effective area coverage that could be expected if agent BZ and Sarin nerve agent were disseminated from single or multiple SUU-13/A dispenser loads.
The primary purpose of DTC Test 69-31 was to evaluate the continued effectiveness of the Shipboard Toxicological Operational Protection System (STOPS) of the USS Herbert J. Thomas (DD-833).
