  • Explosive safety siting method
    Patent number: 6654704
    Abstract: A method for making a determination of a required separation distance between each of a plurality of potential explosive sites and its associated exposed site. When an actual separation distance is less than the required separation distance mitigation procedures or options are available to resolve a separation distance violation between a potential explosive site and an exposed site.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2002
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2003
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy

  • Water-based apparatus to mitigate damage and injuries from a fully or partially confined explosion
    Patent number: 6397753
    Abstract: A water-based apparatus for mitigating the gas pressure loading and associated damage and injuries from a fully or partially confined explosion. The water-based apparatus comprises a water-blanket which rests on each pallet of ordnance to mitigate the gas pressure loading from an inadvertent explosion of the ordnance. The water-blanket includes a pair of storage modules, each module comprising a plurality of water storage compartments that store a predetermined quantity of water which is dependent upon the type and quantity of explosive in the ordnance on the pallet. The storage modules are joined by a zipper which allows the modules to be separated for ease in transport.
