BIOWEAPONS
 BIOLOGICAL WEAPON also called “GERM
WEAPON”, any of number of disease
producing agent such as virus, bacteria,
fungi, toxins or other biological agents, that
may be utilize against human, animals,
plants.
WHAT ARE THE BIOLOGICALWEAPON
 Toxin material or pathogenic substances(Usually
microbes)
Biological weapons are potentially deadlier than
chemical weapons.
These substances work to kill or incapacitate the
host
Biological weapons are may be used to target living
organism such as
DELIVAR METHODS
 Food/water
 Aircraft sprayers
 Vehicle sprayers
 Air handling
 Human vector
 Animal vector
BIOWEAPON EFFECTS
 The enemy can produce variety of effective BW
agents and can deliver them against population,
agricultural and water recourses.
 BW agents may be used against humans to
produce illness, death, impede defensive actions,
impair morale, reduce the will to resist and
minimize production capability either for the
conduct of war for recovery and rehabilitation.
