The two layer system and the importance of draping
hes not been resolved.
Spectrel variations for surface bursts
and lerge yield weapons (above 100 KT) may influence fabric
protection. Fire resistant fabrics reduce secondary flame but
do not appear sppreciably more resistant to trensmission of the
primary pulse.
Standard Navy Department flash

is effective in protecting
otherwise unshielded skin and its possible use in selected
operational situations should be considered.
CONCIUSIONS:For onerational recuirements, basic airburst thermal radiation
data relating to effects on unprotected skin is adequate.
Spectral variations for surface burst and large yield weapons
need further evaluution.
The vrotective effects of clothing
(Jess than four layer system) nas been partially evaluated.
The influence of fire resistant fzbrics, draping, and variations
in spectrum is not resolved.

The protective effects of shelters
Adeauste lavcoratery sources for small area burns are available
but a large areca scurce awaits testing.
RECOMMENDA- The probiems assceciated with the protection offered by clothing
TEONS:
can be approechcd in the laboratory bus finel verification will
require field tests.
Spectral variations can be rescivcd in the laboratory once
accurate physSicel data is cbteined.
