Initial Analyses of Flow Data from UAS Testing at Dugway Proving Ground April 2021

Abstract

In late April and early May of 2021, Dugway Proving Grounds executed Defense Threat Reduction Agency Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Dispenser Modeling Test. This involved a series of chemical simulant releases from a UAS, both indoors and outdoors. This series is subsequently referred to by DTRA as Phase 1 UAS testing, as future testing is planned. Prior to testing of UAS dispensing chemicals, a series of flow measurements were conducted to capture some characteristics of the turbulent flow generated underneath the UAS. These measurements in the Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel are the subject of this technical note.
