Halogenated Explosives to Defeat Biological Agents

Abstract

Objectives of this project included the preparation of novel chemical explosive compounds capable of producing biocidal products of explosion (particularly hydrogen fluoride) as well as one or more explosive formulations suitable for determination of their feasibility as effective agent defeat weapon components. Such new formulations could provide significantly better airborne-agent neutralization/defeat capabilities than existing high-explosive, thermobaric, and high-temperature incendiary payloads by employing chemical kill mechanisms with high efficiency.
