Research abstract

"Solus INC. proposes development of a Triad of Agent Defeat Polymers, termed Triad Polymer Agent Defeat or TPAD, which are designed to be directly incorporated into the standard HTI titanium boride / perboric acid / hexachloroethane HTI explosive matrixutilized by the Weapons Directorate at Eglin AFB. The triad polymer complex consists of three novel proprietary families of polymers functioning optimally The polymers will be packed and dispersed between HTI detonation elements either as compartmentalizedpolymer sections (Polymer Type 1), or as intimate polymer admixtures (Polymer Types 2 and 3). This technology will be tailored for delivery within an HTI strike ordinance package. An HTI strike involving the propagation of a flash fusion plasma at theblast zone will epicentrically- introduce, and concentrically spread, the vaporized agent defeat polymer ionization components outward from a target-centered detonation site. The TPAD technology will be designed to achieve total multi-spectrum agent defeatboth dynamically and with residual effects, thereby insuring that any biothreat agents surviving the intial counterforce event will experience replicative failure should any potential germinative event occur downline. The polymer ionization mechanicsinvolved will be extensively optimized using models which address clumping and distribution escape phenomena during the blast wave propagation and any subsequent potential aerosolization of su
