- Description
- The Air Force Research Laboratories, Eglin AFB, FL has a requirement for a rectangular test chamber to house small scale detonations for an explosive weight of 2 grams or less TNT equivalence. These detonations must be conducted inside a controlled environment (IE Not out doors) because precision alignment of optical diagnostics will be used to measure the output of detonators. The test chamber will also need to be deemed "man safe". This is a safety feature that will allow one to direct high energy laser light onto the detonator and still work in the room without danger of being harmed if in the worst case scenario, the laser initiates the explosive. Pressure, heat, and fragment measurements will be taken by the vendor to verify this safety condition. The item required is a high explosive containment vessel with options 1, 2, and 3. Option 1 is software analysis to calculate the pressure that the 1 inch alls of the chamber will be able to contain. Option 2 is a software analysis to determine the maximum quantity of explosive that can be used without affecting the "man rating". Option 3 is the testing of the chamber per MIL-STD 398 to ensure that the chamber is "man safe"
