Comments -
This design was developed by NAWC Weapons Division, China Lake, for Air Force EOD, which had a need for a deployable explosives storage magazine with a minimal ESQD. This design uses a modified off-the-shelf ARMAG Corporation magazine to provide additional venting and 17 special pumice-lined containers (for storage of HD 1.1 and 1.3 AE) to limit the MCE in the magazine to 1.25 pounds NEW of C-4. HD 1.4 items are stored within metal containers on the internal expanded metal shelves. The maximum NEW permitted in the magazine is 128.24 pounds. An Air Force EOD kit contains approximately 254 pounds NEW, therefore two of these magazines are required to hold the EOD kit. A 10-foot clear area is required around the Advanced EOD Magazine, within which no permanent personnel are permitted. NAWS China Lake Test Report NAWCWD TM 8331 defines all conditions and modifications associated with use of the Advanced EOD Magazine.
