Toxic Cloud Defeat

Abstract

The threat of biological weapons developed a new requirement to defeat toxic clouds. Currently, there are no methods to deal with such a threat. The goal of moving, burning, or neutralizing a toxic cloud that is endangering troops is projected. The threat of various toxic agents leads to additional challenges in detection and defeat. A technique using explosive charges to burn the toxins in the air was developed for large outdoor areas. Basic engineering tests were performed. Test results and techniques are included in this report.
