Deseret Test Center Test 68-13 (Rapid Tan I, II, III) was a joint U.S., U.K., and Canadian program designed to investigate the extent and duration of hazard following a Tabun, Soman or V nerve agent attack.
The primary purpose of Night Train was to study the penetration of an arctic inversion by a biological aerosol cloud.
The purpose of Tall Timber was to test the effectiveness of the M138 bomblet filled with agent BZ in a tropical forested environment.
The primary test objective of Deseret Test Center (DTC) Test 68-53 was to establish safety distances downwind of CS2 drop zones. A secondary objective required the determination of agent deposition patterns, percent of agent recovery, and airborne agent particle size in defining direct assault effects such as those related to rescue missions.
The Elk Hunt, Phase I tests were designed to determine the amount of either standard or modified VX nerve agent picked up on the clothing of personnel traversing various types of contaminated terrain.
The purpose of West Side, Phase I was to evaluate the A/B 45Y-4 dry agent disseminator in a frigid environment.
The objective of Deseret Test Center (DTC) Test 69-75 was to investigate the effectiveness of the F-4/A/B 45Y-2/TX weapon system to reduce wheat crop yields in selected geographic areas.
In 1967 and 1968, Deseret Test Center Test conducted DTC Test 68-13 (Rapid Tan I, II, III) jointly with the United Kingdom and Canada. Rapid Tan was designed to investigate the extent and duration of hazard following a Tabun, Soman or V nerve agent attack. DTC Test 69-12 was planned as a more sophisticated test than Rapid Tan.
The purpose of the Half Note test was to determine biological decay rates of vegetative nonpathogens in a marine environment and to compare the field decay rates with chamber decay rates when conducted under similar conditions.
The Elk Hunt, Phase II tests were designed to determine the amount of VX nerve agent picked up on the clothing of personnel traversing breached paths through contaminated areas and M23 minefields; the amount of VX nerve agent deposited on the surface of vehicles traversing VX-contaminated areas or under which an M23 mine had been detonated; the amount ...
Devil Hole, Phase I was conducted in temperate aspen and spruce forests to determine area-time-dosage information for Sarin nerve agent-filled artillery munitions (M121A1 155mm shells) and Sarin nerve agent –filled rocket warheads (M55 115 mm warheads.)
The primary purpose of Green Mist was to estimate the effective dosage area coverage that could be expected if sarin nerve agent-filled M139 bomblets were disseminated from four different weapons systems over a rain forest canopy.
The purpose of Sun Down was to evaluate simulant and sarin-filled BLU-19/B23 bomblets in forested and open terrain with snow cover at temperatures between -18ºC and -1ºC.
The purpose of Magic Sword was to study the feasibility of an offshore release of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and to obtain information on mosquito biting habits, mosquito trap technology, and operational and logistical problems associated with the delivery of mosquitoes to remote sites.
The purpose of Deseret Test Center (DTC) Test 68-50 was to determine the potential casualty area and associated casualty levels for the F-4/AB45Y-4/PG2 weapon system.
