Fact Sheet
10/31/2002
The purposes of Pin Point were to evaluate the riot-control-agent CS-dispensing, man- portable E8 launcher and the aerially-delivered CBU-19/A and CBU-30/A munitions for area-coverage-time-dosage relationships in a tropical jungle environment.
Fact Sheet

TThe first objective of the Yellow Leaf test was to determine the effectiveness of the M143 bomblet when employed against targets in a jungle environment. The second objective was to determine mathematically, and based on data obtained from the Yellow Leaf test, the area coverage to be expected from the detonation of a US Navy MISTEYE I weapons system or a US Army SERGEANT M211 biological warhead over a jungle canopy.
Fact Sheet

The objective of Swamp Oak was to determine area-time-dosage relationships as a function of burst height and agent diffusion characteristics, within subarctic forested areas, for Sarin nerve agent-filled artillery munitions in temperatures ranging from -1ºC to -18ºC.
Fact Sheet
10/9/2002
The purposes of Pine Ridge were to ascertain the percentage of BLU-19/B23 and BLU-20/B23 bomblets that function and to determine their dissemination points in or below a jungle canopy; to determine area-time-dosage and diffusion characteristics of agent BZ and Sarin nerve agent when disseminated from single bomblets; and, to estimate the effective area coverage that could be expected if agent BZ and Sarin nerve agent were disseminated from single or multiple SUU-13/A dispenser loads.
Fact Sheet

Fact Sheet
10/9/2002
The main purpose of Watch Dog was to obtain viability decay rates of Francisella tularensis (wet and dry forms), Serratia marcesens, and Escherichia coli. and stabilized Francisella tularensis animal infectivity data in a summer temperate environment.
Fact Sheet
10/9/2002
