Strategy to Minimize Energetics Contamination at Military Testing/Training Ranges

Abstract

The ARDEC is sponsoring the GAT Program. One important goal under the GAT program umbrella is to minimize the impacts of energetics contamination on military ranges resulting from testing and training activities. By achieving this goal, the Army will be able to maintain and strengthen its testing/ training capability and achieve sustainable ranges. In turn, military readiness can be assured. This report presents the OAT Strategy and methodology developed to assist the Army in identifying and prioritizing actions necessary to achieve this goal. In addition, the demonstration of the methodology on a specific munition item is summarized.
