Dust/Debris Field Test (Add-On)

Abstract

As a result of heavy rains during a Dust/Debris Test at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, PM Smoke requested Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) characterize additional dust/debris trials at DPG. A total of nine trials were conducted. Dust was characterized for a moving vehicle (M60 tank) and explosions from the submunitions for M483A1, 155mm projectiles. Debris from the muzzle blast of an M60 tank with 105mm HP was characterized. Dust/debris cloud characterization included visual and infrared (near, mid, and far) transmittances, dosages, particle size distribution, extinction coefficients and cloud luminance. (Author)
