Objective and Approaches at Dugway Proving Ground

A limited amount of engineering takes place prior to each validation and verification phase. This involves determining agent-air mixtures, control settings, and instrument configurations required to achieve desired vapor concentrations. Modifications to the detector testing system (DTS) could include reconfiguring 

JCAD performance specifications cover a wide range of agents, concentrations, temperatures, humidity, and chemical interferents. A complete matrix to test the full envelope of performance would be impractical and cost prohibitive. Therefore, the statistical experimental design is crucial for reducing the matrix without sacrificing statistical validity, while also ensuring validity of the developed test methodology. The seven TMD areas stated earlier are discussed below.
