DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF THE HYDRO-ADIABATIC DETONATOR

Abstract

The report describes the work conducted to develop a simple explosive device to replace present complicated arming and firing mechanisms used in underwater sound signals. This device contains no primary explosive and represents a significant improvement in the design and safety of explosive devices. Potential applications are not limited to underwater sound signals.
