Cut and Capture System Technology for Demilitarization of Underwater Munitions - Tank Test

Abstract

Munitions are encountered in a variety of underwater environments as unexploded ordnance (UXO) or munitions and explosives of concern (MEC). These items can cause unacceptable explosive risk to critical infrastructure, recreational divers, and shermen. The ordnance can also wash up on-shore and place people at serious risk of death or injury from an explosion. The purpose of this demonstration is to validate an underwater suite of tools that can be used to demilitarize underwater UXO or MEC. Note that only inert target items will be used in this demonstration.
