Research abstract
"The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility and military utility of employing an innovative incendiary, based on state-of-the-art solid rocket propellant technology to defeat chemical and biological agents. This is accomplished byhighly effective convective heating of the interior of the facility to temperatures in excess of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for the extended period of time necessary to accomplish complete destruction. These incendiaries are suitable for integration intocurrent and advanced penetrating munitions. This approach is tailored to avoid massive explosive effects, which could result in the release of dangerous agents. The technology developed on this project will provide the US Air Force with an innovative andeffective approach to defeating chemical and biological agents. This approach is tailored to avoid massive explosive, which could result in the release of these dangerous agents. The commercial benefit of this technology will be in the area ofneutralization of hazards resulting from the chemical industry."
