The Cloud Sampling Study performed by General Dynamics/Pomona has resulted in the preliminary design of a vehicle, launch system, and aircraft installation capable of collecting a debris and gas sample from a nuclear cloud with a yield in the range from 500 KT to 10 MT., The vehicle proposed is unguided and will pass 12,500 cubic feet of cloud volume -ugh a f i l t e r to collect the isokinetic particulate debris sample and f i l l a 1.5 cubic foot vacuum bottle with gaseous debris, utilizing aerodynamic ram pressure , All concepts utilized in the design are within the present state-of-the-art and have been demonstrated on various missile and meteorological probe programs. The approach utilized was arrived at after an extensive investigation of a variety of possible collection techniques and a study of the various associated trade-offs.
