INSTALLATION AND METHOD FOR DESTROYING PYROTECHNIC WASTE
An installation for destroying waste includes at least traces of energetic materials, comprising: an enclosure delimited by lateral walls, the enclosure being filled with a liquid medium up to a first level; a chamber comprising: an inlet intended to supply the chamber with waste to be destroyed by combustion in the chamber; an outlet; a discharge line extending between a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the outlet of the chamber, the second end being situated in the liquid medium, the discharge line rising, between its first end and its second end, to a second level which is higher than the first level, the discharge line being configured to discharge, at the second end, gases and volatile solid residues which are produced in the chamber during combustion.
Munition with controlled self neutralization
Methods, systems, and devices for an area-denial munition configured for self-neutralization of an explosive ordnance. In one or more embodiments the munition including a housing including a chassis defining one or more openings such that the housing is an at least partially open structure exposing an interior to an ambient environment. In various embodiments the munition includes a detonation module including a detonation initiator and a deflagration module including a deflagration initiator coupled with a pyrotechnic primer, and munition control circuitry. In various embodiments the munition control circuitry receives instructions to deflagrate the explosive ordnance and instructs the deflagration module to activate the deflagration initiator. In various embodiments, the deflagration initiator causes a deflagration of the explosive ordnance for self-neutralization of the munition resulting in safe destruction of the munition's explosive charge and control electronics.
