Disposal, Charge placement, EOC, Locators, Search Tech Flashcards
Name the 5 disposal methods.
- Detonation
- Burning
- Chemical Decomposition
- Deep sea dumping
- De-militarisation (breaking down)
What are the methods of initiation?
- D1 - Electrical initiation, single charge by detonation
- D2 - Non-electrical initiation, single charge by detonation
- D3 - Electrical initiation of safety fuse
- D4 - Fire by function of stores own initiator
- B1 - Electrical initiated burn
- B2 - Non-electrical initiated burn
What is an A Shot charge placement?
Designed to attack the fuse and primary booster to initiate the main fill. It is the preferred method. Avoid wasting explosive on electrical and mechanical parts of the device.
What us a B Shot charge placement?
Targeting the main fill. Not desired on illumination rounds. Be carful to not attack thicker parts of the case such as the bourrelet or base.
What is the purpose of an Explosive Ordnance Clearance (EOC)?
It allows the safe return of land, infrastructure and resumption of operations.
What are the 4 EOC task priorities and define them?
- Pri 1 - Immediate and serious risk to life (General public access)
- Pri 2 - Risk to life exists, public access, close to residential
- Pri 3 - No direct threat, public access or future development
- Pri 4 - No direct threat to life, no public access
What lines and points are used to ensure a systematic EOC is conducted?
- Reference Point - An easy to locate feature to aid in locating the starting point (Datum point)
- Datum Point - The accurately surveyed and marked point to take all other references from.
- Datum Line - Predetermined bearing through the datum point.
- Start Points - Points along the datum line
- Start lines - Lines perpendicular from the datum line from the start points
- Intermediate Lines - Perpendicular to the start lines to box areas.
What is the difference between a shallow and deep search?
- Shallow search depth is to 500mm. 2m search lanes
- Deep search is 500mm to 6m. 1m search lanes
What are the 2 main tools used for instrument searches?
Mine Lab F3 - down to 500mm but generally to 300mm
FEREX 4.032 API Detector down to 6m
