Abstract (en)

[origin: US7073424B2] The invention concerns the field of ammunitions equipped with their fuze, found on the battlefield. Such ammunitions represent a major pyrotechnic risk. The problem consists in destroying the fuze so as to be able to dismantle said ammunition. The method consists in placing said ammunition ( 1 ) in a closed chamber ( 5 ) to carry out at least once the following cycle: depressurizing the chamber ( 5 ), dissolving the fuze ( 2 ) of the ammunition ( 1 ) with a liquid corrosive agent, drawing off the gaseous effluents towards an auxiliary chamber ( 7 ), reopening the chamber ( 5 ) after dissolving the fuze ( 2 ), removing the ammunition ( 1 ), recovering the mixture resulting from the attack of the fuze ( 2 ) by the liquid corrosive agent ( 6 ) and treating it by pyrolysis.
