Next Generation Loading System for Detonators and Primers

Abstract

Designed, fabricated and installed next generation tooling to provide additional manufacturing capabilities for new detonators and other small prototype munitions on automated, semi-automated and manual machines. Lead design effort, procured and installed a primary explosive Drying Oven for a pilot plant facility. Provided a computer numerically controlled (CNC) lathe for machining energetic materials remotely in an explosive prototype machining facility. Designed, fabricated and installed a Primary Explosives Waste Treatment System in a pilot environmental processing facility. Designed, fabricated and installed modifications to an existing 30 and 50 liter Reactor System to enable remote processing of new explosive compounds.
