WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, OHIO (AFRL) — A new system seeks to aid explosive ordnance disposal, or EOD, technicians by adding a simple and inexpensive system to improve depth detection while controlling disposal robots to manage counter-improvised explosive device, or C-IED, operations. The system, which increases precision and safety for EOD personnel, is the product…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) was asked to provide information on the removal of the memory effect from an incinerator’s pollution abatement system after it becomes contaminated with dioxins and furans. The overarching objective is to eliminate dioxin and furan emissions. However, realistic goals are centered on locating the most cost-effective way to maintain a subthreshold dioxin and furan emission. The…
