Title:
Test Operations Procedure (TOP) 08-2-140A Establishing an Agent-Simulant Technology Relationship (ASTR)
Report Date:
2022-07-28
Abstract:
This test operations procedure (TOP) provides the standard method for preparing, planning, conducting, and reporting the agent-simulant technology relationship (ASTR) process for use in testing systems and components. An ASTR is a quantified relationship between a measurement collected with agent and the same measurement collected with simulant at the same conditions. This TOP addresses chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) defense. Within chemical defense, the individual protection (IP), collective protection (CP), decontamination (decon), and contamination avoidance (CA) capability areas are addressed. Example ASTRs are presented from each capability area. The method identifies steps to determine a traceable, quantifiable, and defensible ASTR during testing of components and systems in realistic and operationally relevant scenarios. This procedure tailors ASTRs to the needs of specific tests in any capability area where testing with simulants is required.
