Abstract

DECONTAMINATION IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING HARMLESS OR REMOVING CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS OR REMOVING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL, OBJECTS, OR AREAS. DECONTAMINATION INCLUDES THE PROCESSES OF ABSORBING, DESTROYING, NEUTRALIZING, OR PHYSICALLY REMOVING THE CONTAMINANT. A PORTABLE DECONTAMINATING APPARATUS IS USED PRIMARILY FOR THE DECONTAMINATION OF VEHICLES, CREW-SERVED WEAPONS, AND OTHER KEY EQUIPMENT. THE TESTS INCLUDE SIMULATED ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING (TEMPERATURE, FUNGUS, HUMIDITY, DUST, SUN, FOG, RAIN), ROUGH HANDLING AND SURFACE TRANSPORT TESTS, AIR TRANSPORT TEST, AIR DROP CAPABILITY, LEAK TESTING, ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY, HUMAN FACTORS (INCLUDING EASE OF USAGE), AND MAINTENANCE ASPECTS.
