Safety Testing of Lithium (Sulfur Dioxide) Battery for Expendable, Mobile, ASW Training Target (EMATT).

摘要

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, White Oak, was requested to perform a safety evaluation of EMATT (Expandable, Mobile, ASW, Training Target) battery system. The EMATT unit contains fifteen lithium sulfur dioxide (Li/SO2) size 'DD' cells which provide required power to operate the vehicle. The testing was conducted under the guidelines of NAVSEA NOTICE 9310. This report describes the methods and the results obtained from the safety testing. The test results indicate that the power source meets the safety requirements provided by NAVSEA NOTICE 9310. The U.S. Navy has developed the Expendable, Mobile, Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Training Target, EMATT. The EMATT unit is an air or surface launched vehicle which performs maneuvers in the ocean and emits a magnetic or acoustic signature that is monitored by airborne and surface ships for training purposes. The duration of operation of the vehicle is approximately three hours.
