Event Record for the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) Increment 2 Chamber Upgrades

Abstract

The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) is a point chemical warfare agent (CWA) detector designed to alert the warfighter to a range of chemical threats. The JCAD 2 test chamber was upgraded and tested in five phases. The dissemination system was upgraded and tested. The prototype dissemination system was set up and tested. Test operations were conducted. The JCAD chambers were upgraded. Air streams were merged and preconditioned. All test objectives/criteria (see Methodology Investigation Plan for the JCAD Increment 2 Chamber Upgrades, ATEC Project Number 2009-DT-DPG-JCADI-E1350) for Methyl Salicylate (MeS) Dissemination Data in the Prototype System were met. The dimethyl methyl phosphate were not as successful.
