Application of Suppressive Shielding and Antifratricide Technologies to the Transportation of M55 Rockets.

Abstract

Methods for reducing the maximum credible event (MCE) while moving pallets of M55 rockets are discussed. The use of containment vessels to prevent the dispersion of chemical agent should an explosion of a warhead occur is suggested and a program to investigate both phases of the problem is recommended.
