Over-water Simulant Release Testing for the Joint Services Lightweight Standoff Chemical Agent Detector (JSLSCAD)

Abstract

NSWCDD Has supported the JSLSCAD program through participation in joint IPTs for system development, logistics, and test and evaluation. As part of its role in support of Test and Evaluation NSWC performed over water testing of the JSLSCAD on its Potomac River Test Range in July/August of this year. Testing over water presents several unique challenges, foremost being to question of how to adequately referee the simulants challenge, and how to safely and effectively provide that challenge. By using a combination of Infrared (IR) cameras, and M&S tools coupled to on the spot meteorological observations we predicted cloud track, and attempted to verify cloud behavior. Issues encountered included speed of coordinating met observations, and tests, and the sometimes-volatile nature of weather conditions in the littoral environment.
