Chemical Agent Monitor (CAM) Follow-On Operational Test and Evaluation Simulant Test Strategy

Abstract

This report was intended to provide technical guidance to the U.S. Army Armor and Engineering (A&E) Board in the area of simulant use for the Chemical Agent Monitor (CAM) Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation (FOT&E). The Operational Science Branch (Op Sci Br) was requested to support the A&E board in their effort to design an FOT&E for the CAM using methyl salicylate (MS) as the H mode (mustard agent) simulant. Personnel from Op Sci Br were asked to design contamination technology and monitoring methods to test the machine/ man interface and use doctrine, and analyze how well data is collected and evaluated. Keywords: Dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, Simulant technology, Chemical agent simulant, Vapor cloud behavior.
