Controlled expedient disposal of excess gun propellant.
The expedient field disposal of excess gun propellants on the ground is an integral part of live-fire training in many countries. However, burning excess propellant in the field will leave significant quantities of energetic residues and heavy metals in the environment. Compounds such as dinitrotoluene and nitroglycerin and metals such as lead will leach into the soil column, eventually migrati...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Gun Propellant Development: From Molecules to Materials
The development of gun propellants from 2010 to 2016 has been a broad endeavor. Researchers worldwide have examined every facet of energetic materials involved with gun propulsion in efforts to improve both safety and performance. They have looked at individual molecules to maximize energy content, as well as revisiting past molecules and improving upon their original properties. A great deal o...
متن کاملARDEC Solid Gun Propellant Shock Initiation Sensitivity Test
NOL large card gap test is not suitable to assess the shock sensitivity of granular propellant beds made of large grains. The result can be strongly influenced by the heterogeneity of the bed. A new small scale gun propellant shock sensitivity test has been developed at ARDEC. This test is a sensitive discriminator to assess gun propellant shock sensitivity. INTRODUCTION Shock-to-detonation sen...
متن کاملEnergetic residues from field disposal of gun propellants.
Military training with howitzers and mortars produces excess propellant that is burned on the training range and can result in point sources containing high concentrations of unreacted propellant constituents. Propellants contain energetic compounds such as nitroglycerin (NG) and 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), both of which are found at firing positions and propellant disposal areas. To quantify...
متن کاملScheme for a coherently controlled pulsed electron gun
When the outer electron of an alkali atom in an electric field is laser excited just above the field-induced ionization threshold, the electron ejection will not be instantaneous. Calculations show there are a number of energy regions where, upon short-pulse laser excitation, the atom will eject a train of electron probability pulses with the pulses being nearly equally spaced in time. This sys...
