Lessons Learned From the CG-19 Weapons Effects Test on Mitigating the Effects of a Missile Induced Conflagration

Abstract

Techniques are recommended for reducing the severity of a missile induced conflagration. Evaluate various "fuel load minimization concepts" (reductions in total fuel loading and"or techniques that prevent burnable material from coming in contact with air). Evaluate techniques for reducing the likelihood of fire spread through intact boundaries. Evaluate possible installation techniques for enhancing the survivability of systems (sprinkler, water delivery, and vital systems). Develop/evaluate systems to cool the PDA and cool the PDA boundaries. Develop a network of sensors designed to increase the overall situational awareness and refine the Doctrine for fighting missile induced fires.
