Conventional Munitions Demil
Abstract
The Conventional Munitions Demilitarization technology program supports the Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) responsibility per Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5160.68 to plan, program, budget and fund a Joint Service research and development (R&D) program for developing capability and capacity, technology and facilities to support the SMCA mission to demil and dispose of conventional ammunition stored in the SMCA Resource, Recovery and Disposition Account (B5A) for all the Military Services. The program goals include SMCA efforts to increase efficiencies and effectiveness to reduce the demil stockpile; reduce processing costs including packaging, handling and crating; and increase capacity through improved demil capabilities and processes. Project F24 includes activities: (1) to support a requirements process to focus investments, assess capabilities, analyze alternatives, and recommend and implement R&D projects; (2) to sustain product and process improvement and support for existing capabilities; (3) to develop or improve demil methods and processes related to advance the primary demilitarization dore thrust areas of destruction, disassembly, removal, resource recovery and recycling, and waste stream treatment; (4) to ensure safe and environmentally acceptable demil operations; (5) to transition or transfer activities of technologies/projects from the techbase centers or to United States Army depots or plants performing demil; and (6) to mitigate risk and close-out project activities.
