Comments -
Magazine designed by 66th Support Group, Hanscom AFB, MA., for the storage of explosives training aids used in SPS Detector Dog Training Kits.
Designer Considerations -
The ECM's shell is constructed of 8-inch thick RC. A 1/4-inch thick steel magazine with wood lining is placed inside the RC shell. The ECM must have 38- inches of earth cover, and the sides of the earth cover must have a 2:1 slope. Explosives must be stored two feet from the magazine walls. The ECM has a reduced QD arc of 92 feet and a PTR distance of 55 feet. A front barricade is required.
