OSTI ID:7037094
An Independent Assessment Report (IAR) for the New Material Release of the M20 Simplified Collective Protection Equipment (SCPE) was conducted by TECOM. The M20 is designed to provide a simple and highly mobile NBC-protected environment, free of chemical and biological agent contamination and nuclear fallout, in which soldiers can operate without the encumbrance of the mission-oriented protective posture (MOPP) ensemble. The M20 is intended to serve in the dual roles of soldier relief facility and command, control and operations center. The M20 was tested at U.S. Army Chemical Research Development and Engineering Center (Aberdeen Proving Ground) and U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground. The IAR concluded that the SCPE did not meet requirements for material release due to failure to meet certain criteria and insufficient test data. The IAR recommends that the SCPE be conditionally released as New Material with interim shelter control procedures implemented. Recommendations are also provided regarding further testing and requirements for full release of the system.
