            SLTBJECT: Simulator, Projectile Airburst. Liquid Mg (SPAL)


            1. Purpose. Provide information on SPAL, its components and
            use.


            2. Facts.
                a. The SPAL, when fired, simulates a toxic rain attack. it
            provides a realistic simulated persistent agent enabling
            soldiers to perform detection 'and decontamination procedures for
            personnel and equipment.

                b.   Major components consist of:

                     (1)  Projector assemblies (20 ea).

                     (2)  Actuating charges (20 ea).
                     (3)  5.5 gallons (21 liters) Chemical Agent Simulant.

                     (4)  Accessories (caps, plugs, faucet).
                C.   Five fired projector assemblies will produce a 50 meter
            wide band of  toxic agent simulant, 100 meters downwind
            (approximately 150 by 300 feet). The fiber board/shipping
            container controls the direction of each bottle when fired. it
            has a threaded bushing in center of the base for implanting
            spike.
                d. The Chemical Agent Simulant is composed of 90%
            Polyethylene Glycol 200 (PEG-200) and 10% water. It causes
            color changes in chemical agent detector paper in much the same
            way as liquid toxic chemical agents.
