A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SOL N00164-96-R-0110 DUE 103096 POC Contact, Code 1164, Ms. Terry Davis, 812-854-3704; Mr. Don Davis, Contracting Officer The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center is soliciting research proposals, using aBroad Agency Announcement (BAA), in the area of identifying a transportable system capable ofproducing a commercial product from Explosive D (ammonium picrate). Proposed researchshould investigate innovative approaches that lead to revolutionary advances in thestate-of-the-art for systems capable of converting Explosive D into a commercial product. Thetechnology may demonstrate an innovative system for removal/conversion of the Explosive D orbe applied to Explosive D which has been removed using existing technologies (i.e. CO2 blastout,water washout). The objectives of this effort will be to identiconcepts must be established and readyto transition to a demon a government facility. Sufficient explosive shall be converteal conversion of a 100 gram sample of Explosive D to the specifiindividual efforts should not exceed 2 years inlength. It is racts will be encouraged in the BAA package; it is anticipated t be considered by the Navy.(0213)
