Explosives Safety and Weapons Assessment

Abstract

Reduce risk introduced by new weapons systems and technologies that have potential to interfere with ordnance safety and Fleet operations. Emerging radars for all classes of ships introduce a heightened electromagnetic environment (EME) with the likelihood of exceeding the maximum allowable environment (MAE) currently in place. The MAE provides the safety barrier in identifying the electrostatic safety threshold for ordnance items. Exceeding MAE introduces increased risk of inadvertent detonation of electrically primed explosives.
