About this file
This is a presentation for an Industry Day event scheduled for February 5, 2025, focused on the Chemical Test Division's facilities and capabilities at what appears to be Dugway Proving Ground. The presentation outlines multiple specialized testing facilities including the Combined Chemical Test Facility (CCTF), Chemical Test Facility (RAIL), Materiel Test Facility (MTF), and Decontamination Facilities.
The facilities described include 35,000 square feet of multifunctional laboratories with 47 agent-certified fume hoods, specialized test chambers for chemical warfare agents and simulants, and decontamination facilities with a 200' x 100' steel-reinforced concrete pad capable of handling armored vehicles. The presentation highlights support for the JPEO-CBRND programs including the Aerosol and Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD) and Multi-Purpose Chemical Agent Detector (MPCAD). Key regulations referenced include AR 50-6, AR 190-59, and DA Pam 385-61, with the facility being ISO 17025 certified for safety air monitoring and hazardous waste handling. The primary customer is identified as the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND).
