FEASIBILITY AND DESIGN STUDY FOR COLLECTIVE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT FOR THE AN/MSG-4 SYSTEM

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of installing collective protection (air filtration) equipment on semitrailer vans, trucks, and air-transportable shelters that contain the various subsystems of the AN/MSG-4 Antiaircraft Defense System. The collective protection equipment will include: a chemical, bacteriological, and radiological (CBR) filter for filtering irritating, noxious, and toxic gases and aerosols from the air; a pressure-control device to maintain minimum pressure of the air conditioning system; and an air lock that permits personnel to make safe entry and exit from the various vehicles and shelters. Mockups of proposed CBR filters and a mockup of a protective entrance will be fabricated following completion of the initial phase of the feasibility study.
