CONVENTIONAL MUNITIONS DEMIL
Abstract
Under the leadership and oversight of the Product Manager (PM) for Demilitarization (Demil), this project supports a continuing technology evaluation of demil methods for all types of conventional ammunition in development, production, and storage. Project F24 will complete the development, demonstration, and integration of new, safe, and environmentally acceptable alternatives to open burning/open detonation (OB/OD), including resource, recovery and recycling (R3) equipment, and processes to reduce the extremely large demil stockpile. This effort employs the highly matured technology base in the Department of Defense Service Laboratories and Technical Centers, the Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, industry, and academia. The program is integrated through the leadership of the PM for Demil and the Joint Ordnance Commanders Group Munitions Demil/Disposal Subgroup leveraging support from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program and the Joint DOD/DOE Munitions Technology Program. The program supports an annual global demil symposium for technical review and data evaluation from ongoing projects and advanced demonstrations. The PM Demil R&D Integrated Process Team utilizes a systematic approach for project prioritization.
