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, and 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. FY 2024 funding will support continued testing, validation, and regulatory integration for permanent, temporary and mobile ammunition and explosives facilities focusing on construction and instrumentation of destructive test structures; data collection and analyses; policy change identification and implementation. The Defense Ammunition Center/US Army Technical Center for Explosives Safety (DAC/USATCES), Engineer Research and Development Center will team with and sponsor agencies (Joint Service, Academia, and Contractor) to improve the effectiveness of identifying, analyzing, and apply risk acceptance to ammunition and explosive environments. Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center Branch to provide technical support in the areas of risk assessment Program, DDESB Science Panel, and the DoD protective construction.
