Army Explosives Safety Management Program
Abstract
This Project establishes, validates or modifies explosives technical safety requirements per Department of Defense Pamphlet 385-64, Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards. Project activities promote Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDTE) of new and innovative explosives safety technologies that improve the survivability of Army personnel, facilities, and equipment as well as improve the health, safety and welfare of the general public. FY20 funding will support continued testing, validation, and regulatory integration for permanent, temporary and mobile ammunition & explosives (A&E) facilities as well as operations. The Defense Ammunition Center/US Army Technical Center for Explosives Safety (DAC/USATCES) will team with and sponsor agencies (Joint Service, Academia, and Contractor) to improve the effectiveness of identifying, analyzing, and apply risk acceptance to A&E environments.
