Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) Munitions Experience

PSG has performed thousands of hours of Research and Analysis on Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) munitions. This work involved considerable field work with live munitions as well as in-depth literature searches. PSG uses this expertise to produce the CABO databases, analytical reports, specialty briefings and training courses. The following summaries detail the scope of PSG's CB munitions experience.

In depth studies of all known U.S. and foreign C/B munitions since World War I with special emphasis on the following items:

• Nomenclature and markings
• Fillers
• Dissemination techniques and effects
• Fuzing
• Physical characteristics
• Hazards
• Delivery systems

Foreign weaponization of C/B agents

• Track C/B weapons acquisition via open and classified sources
• Track conventional weapons acquisition and developments
• Incident analysis
• Prepare estimates of probable munition configurations

Ordnance identification methodologies employed, researched or developed into working tools

• Nomenclature and markings analysis
• Ordnance type and configuration analysis
• Fabrication peculiarities associated with specific countries
• Shape analysis
