Project 112 was a biological and chemical weapon experimentation project conducted by the United States Military from 1962 to 1973.
Project 112 was a biological and chemical weapon experimentation project conducted by the United States Military from 1962 to 1973.
The project primarily concerned the use of aerosols to disseminate biological and chemical agents that could produce "controlled temporary incapacitation" (CTI). The test program would be conducted on a large scale at "extracontinental test sites" in the Central and South Pacific and Alaska in conjunction with Britain, Canada and Australia.
At least 50 trials were conducted; of these at least 18 tests involved stimulants of biological agents, and at least 14 involved chemical agents, but also tear gas and other simulants. Test sites included Porton Down (UK), Ralston (Canada) and at least 13 US warships; the shipborne trials were collectively known as Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD). The project was coordinated from their Deseret Test Center in Utah.
These tests were highly secretive and even today publicly available information on Project 112 remains incomplete.
