Dust/Debris Test Conducted at Fort Sill, Oklahoma by Dugway Proving Ground. Volume 1.

Abstract

This test program was conducted, at the request of PM Smoke, to characterize battlefield dust/debris at Fort Sill, Oklahoma during May 1978. Twenty trials involving 155 and 105 mm artillery shells and four trials involving vehicular movement were conducted. Data were collected using Dugway Proving Ground's electro-optical instrumentation, particle size analyzer, dust samplers, photographic methods along a single instrumented line of sight. The required visual, near, mid, far IR transmittance data, dust sampler data were collected. Estimates of extinction coefficients for Fort Sill dust are provided. (Author)
