Rigid Polyurethane Foam (RPF) Technolgy for Countermines (Sea) Progam Phase II

摘要

This Phase II report documents the results of one subtask initiated under the joint Department of Energy (DOE)/Department of Defense (DoD) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Countermine Warfare. The development of Rigid Polyurethane Foams for neutralization of mines and barrier sin amphibious assault was the objective of the tasking. This phase of the program concentrated on formation on RPF in water, explosive mine simulations, and development of foam and fabric pontoons. Field experimentation was done primarily at the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) f the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM between February 1996 and September 1998.
