Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a reconfigurable armored unit for use in training exercises. In one aspect, a reconfigurable training facility is provided. The reconfigurable training facility includes a first modular unit. The reconfigurable training facility further includes a second modular unit, wherein each modular unit includes a frame with corner connection members and a grid system, whereby the corner connection members are used to connect the modular units together and whereby the grid system is used to selectively support a plurality of panels. In another aspect, a modular unit for use in a reconfigurable training facility is provided. In yet another aspect, a method of forming a reconfigurable training facility is provided.
Abstract: Apparatus for fragmenting scrap materials, comprising a transportable platform and a fragmenter mounted on the platform for fragmenting scrap materials deposited therein. A first discharge conveyor is mounted on the platform for receiving fragmented scrap materials from the fragmenter. An inspection conveyor is mounted on the platform for receiving and sorting fragmented scrap materials from the first discharge conveyor. A second discharge convevor is mounted on the platform for receiving fragmented and sorted scrap materials from the inspection conveyor and transporting them to a container or vehicle for recycling or disposal. The fragmenter comprises a fragmenter head mounted for reciprocating movement toward and away from an anvil for fragmenting scrap material positioned therebetween and enabling it to be discharged to the first discharge conveyor.
Abstract: Improved apparatus and approaches are described for destruction of energetic materials. The approaches include hydrolysis of the energetic materials by combining a volatile base and water with the energetic materials. The unreacted base from the hydrolysis reaction mixture is recovered and reused for further hydrolysis of energetic materials. The apparatus include components suitable for recovering and reusing unreacted base.
