FAA K-9 Program Quality Control Aid Test and Evaluation Plan

摘要

This document is a Test and Evaluation Plan for an operational test andevaluation of quality control aids (QCAs) for training and testing of the FAA sponsored K-9 teams. Actual explosives and QCAs will be operationally tested for three types of explosives: double-based smokeless powder, TNT, and C4. The three configurations of each QCA include a cloth patch treated with a pure solution, a cloth pouch treated with a granular composite mixture, and a non-hazardous explosive for security training and testing (NESTT) material. This total of nine QCAs will be evaluated to determine the optimal configuration for the QCAs. The results of the OTE will be used to select leading candidate QCAs for further evaluation under field operational conditions.
