A mitigation control system, for performing an active hazard mitigation method, is arranged in an environment containing an energetic material and includes an abnormal temperature sensor for detecting an abnormal temperature of the environment, a power source that is mechanically actuated by the abnormal temperature sensor when the abnormal temperature exceeds a predetermined abnormal temperature threshold, a mitigation controller that is actuated by the power source, and a plurality of local temperature sensors that are communicatively coupled to the mitigation controller and are arranged for detecting critical temperatures in specific regions of the environment. The mitigation controller executes a mitigation action when one of the critical temperatures exceeds a predetermined critical temperature threshold for the corresponding specific region.

Methods and systems are provided for a firearms suppressor adapted with blowout panels. In one example, the blowout panels may be configured to have a lower tolerance for pressure than the materials from which outer components of the suppressor are formed. During over pressure events of the suppressor, the blowout panels may rupture, thereby dissipating pressure in the suppressor.

Embodiments are directed to direct impingement cook-off mitigation systems. As assembled, a munition fuzewell is torqued into the aft end of a munition. During a cook-off event, the expanding gases from the booster energetic will burn instead of detonating. The hot expanding booster gases are vented to the munition's main fill energetic causing the main fill energetic to burn concurrently with the booster energetic. The combined expanding gases from both the booster and main fill energetics are then vented through longitudinal vents.

A containment assembly comprises a first enclosure comprising a cavity for receiving a hazardous object. The first enclosure is configured for containing an explosive event of the hazardous object. A second enclosure comprises a gas impermeable layer, an inner volume, and an air-tight closure. The second enclosure is configured for receiving and containing a gas byproduct of the explosive event from the first enclosure. A gas permeable barrier is disposed between the cavity of the first enclosure and the inner volume of the second enclosure. A smart insulation arrangement may be implemented on the lower side of the first enclosure to allow the event to happen and to cool down over a longer period of time without exceeding maximum allowable temperatures on the outside of the second enclosure. This permits the flight or journey to continue.

Embodiments described herein include layered mesh containers and methods for using the containers to safely transport and dispose of airbag inflators having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. For example, a container with at least two single-layer sidewalls is provided that can hold multiple airbag inflators and withstand up to 4 moles of matter being deployed from an inflator having ammonium-nitrate-based propellant. The container can contain the inflator and any shrapnel associated with the explosion while also venting gases expelled as a result of the explosion. Various container designs are provided, along with methods for using these containers.
