Cost Comparative Analysis of Blast Mitigation Technologies with Regard to Explosive Remnants of War (ERW)

Abstract

The purpose of this MBA Project is to investigate and analyze different forms of blast mitigation technologies that provide safe temporary storage, and in the event of a detonation, provide protection measures for personnel and property. A comprehensive cost comparison of an Explosive Storage Magazine (ESM) and two alternatives: the Explosive Remnants of War Collection Point (ERW-CP) and Blastwrap are analyzed to determine future options. The goal of this project is to identify and document both cost comparisons, as well as requirement satisfaction for the safe and cost-effective temporary storage in troubled regions around the globe.
