Development of a Next Generation Earth Covered Magazine (ECM) Structure Design using Composite Materials

The Synthetik Applied Technologies (Synthetik), Thornton Tomasetti (TT), and Saleria team are pleased to offer this proposal to develop a next generation Earth Covered Magazine (ECM) structure design using Composite Materials.  The Synthetik/TT/Saleria team possess the experience, capabilities, and facilities needed to successfully design, model, simulate, construct, test, and deliver a more modular, lightweight, readily construable, environmentally sympathetic ECM design for the Navy. Our objective is to leverage lightweight materials and associated structural components to produce a more efficient means to construct Earth Covered Magazines (ECMs) while keeping the same or higher level of protection capability, making it easier to maintain and upgrade them, and enabling the military to fabricate the munition structure under field conditions. We will leverage state-of-the-art modeling and simulation to rapidly evaluate materials, components and designs.
