- the invention relates to a device for neutralizing a chemical or biological weapon, characterized in that it comprises:
- a sealed enclosure which delimits an internal volume and which is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position;
- decontaminating agent placed inside the enclosure and which surrounds the pyrotechnic neutralization charge; - a mitigation agent which is placed inside the enclosure and which covers the decontaminating agent.
- the device comprises a filter which is connected to the internal volume of the enclosure by a channel.
- the device comprises a system for controlling the ignition of the pyrotechnic neutralization charge, the ignition control system being connected by a wire to the pyrotechnic neutralization charge, the wire passing through the channel.
- the device comprises an internal envelope located inside the enclosure and which maintains the mitigation agent.
- the mitigation agent is an aqueous foam.
- the enclosure is formed by a flexible envelope.
- the decontaminating agent comprises a powdery solid mineral substance.
- a sarcophagus which comprises a zone of fragility surrounds the pyrotechnic neutralization charge.
- the sarcophagus comprises a box closed by a cover, the zone of weakness corresponding to the junction between the box and the cover.
- the invention relates to a method of using the device according to any one of the preceding characteristics comprising the following steps:
- the second layer of decontaminating agent comprises a first sublayer formed by a mixture of decontaminating agent with a fraction of the soil extracted during the digging of the hole, and a second sublayer deposited on the first sublayer. layer and which is formed by the decontaminating agent.
- the chemical or biological weapon and the pyrotechnic neutralization charge are installed in a sarcophagus which includes a fragile zone.
- Figure 1 schematically shows a sectional view of a device according to a possible embodiment before explosion.
- Figure 2 schematically shows a perspective view of the exterior of a device before explosion.
- Figure 3 shows schematically a perspective view of the exterior of a device after explosion.
- Figure 4 shows schematically a variant in which the enclosure 3 is formed by rigid walls and is in the retracted position.
- Figure 5 shows schematically a variant in which the enclosure 3 is formed by rigid walls and is in the deployed position.
- a device 1 for neutralizing a chemical or biological weapon 2 comprises an enclosure 3 which is sealed and which delimits an internal volume 31 in which the weapon 2 is placed in order to be neutralized.
- weapon 2 When weapon 2 is a chemical weapon, weapon 2 can be chemical munition, or a chemical-loaded improvised explosive device. When weapon 2 is a bioweapon, weapon 2 can be a bioloading munition, or a biologically loaded improvised explosive device.
- the enclosure 3 is movable between a retracted position ( Figure 2) and a deployed position ( Figure 3), the internal volume 31 delimited by the enclosure 3 being greater in the deployed position compared to the retracted position.
- Enclosure 3 is in the retracted position before explosion and neutralization of weapon 2, and enclosure 3 is in the deployed position after explosion and neutralization of weapon 2.
- the passage of the enclosure 3 from its retracted position to the deployed position allows the enclosure 3 to resist the explosion of the weapon 2.
- the weapon 2 being a chemical or biological weapon, the explosive charge is reduced by compared to a conventional weapon.
- the enclosure 3 is sealed, that is to say it retains gases and liquids, in order to prevent the dissemination of gases, liquids and dust which are liable to be released during the neutralization of the weapon 2.
- the enclosure 3 is formed by a flexible wall, the enclosure 3 passing from its retracted position to its deployed position under the effect of the explosion of the weapon 2.
- the enclosure 3 can be made of waterproof fabric, for example CORETECH Shelterguard®, or else of Tychem 10000®.
- the enclosure 3 is formed by rigid walls, for example metal walls, which slide between them in order to ensure deployment of the enclosure 3 during the explosion. .
- the enclosure 3 is formed by a flexible wall, for example a fabric, reinforced by rigid reinforcements, for example metal rods.
- the device 1 also comprises a pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 which is configured to be installed against the weapon 2 and inside the enclosure 3.
- the function of the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 is to initiate the explosion of weapon 2 so that said weapon 2 releases the active chemical or biological substance.
- the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 is adapted according to the chemical or biological weapon 2 to be neutralized.
- the device 1 further comprises a decontaminating agent 5 which is placed inside the enclosure 3 and which surrounds the weapon 2 and the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4.
- the decontaminating agent 5 has the function of reacting with the substance. active chemical or biological which is released by the weapon 2 during the explosion of said weapon 1.
- the decontaminating agent 5 is adapted according to the active substance present in the weapon 2. According to a possible variant making it possible to limit the liquid effluents and to obtain a good tolerance to explosion, the decontaminating agent 5 is a solid mineral decontaminant in powder form.
- the decontaminating agent can for example comprise calcium hypochlorite, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, or a mixture of these components.
- the device 1 also comprises a mitigation agent 6 which is placed inside the enclosure 3 and which covers the decontaminating agent 5.
- the function of the mitigation agent 6 is to absorb part of the released energy. by the explosion of the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 and of the weapon 2, the mitigation agent makes it possible in particular to greatly reduce the overpressure wave generated by the explosion.
- the mitigation agent 6 also makes it possible to limit the dissemination of dust and liquids which notably come from the toxic loads of the weapon 2.
- the mitigation agent 6 can for example be an aqueous foam.
- the device 1 can comprise an internal envelope 61 which is located inside the enclosure 3 and which allows the agent to be maintained. mitigation 6.
- the internal envelope 61 can be a flexible wall, which for example is made of fabric.
- the device 1 for neutralizing the chemical or biological weapon 2 has the advantage of being mobile and thus can be used on the place where the weapon 2 was found.
- the neutralization device 1 can be used according to a process which comprises the following steps:
- the decontaminating agent 5 which is placed around the weapon 2 and the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 can be mixed with a portion of the soil which was removed during the digging of the hole in the ground.
- the second layer of decontaminating agent 5 which is poured over the weapon 2 comprises on the one hand a first sub-layer formed by a mixture of decontaminating agent 5 with a fraction of the extracted soil. during the digging of the hole, and on the other hand a second sublayer deposited on the first sublayer and which is formed by the decontaminating agent 5.
- the device 1 comprises a filter 7 which is connected to the internal volume 31 of the enclosure 3 by a channel 71.
- the filter 7 can for example comprise an activated carbon filter.
- the filter 7 makes it possible to deflate the enclosure 3 after the neutralization firing in a secure manner, thus facilitating the transport of the device 1 to the total elimination route.
- the device 1 may include a firing control system 41 of the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 which is connected to said pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 by a wire.
- the wire connecting the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 to the firing control system 41 passes through the channel 71.
- the weapon 2 and the pyrotechnic neutralization charge 4 can be placed inside a sarcophagus 8 which has the function of containing the fragments projected by the explosion of the weapon 2.
- the sarcophagus 8 can for example be formed of aramid fibers.
- the sarcophagus 8 includes a zone of weakness, so that the sarcophagus 8 breaks through its zone of weakness when firing to neutralize weapon 2.
- the sarcophagus 8 may include a box closed by a cover, the fragile zone corresponding to the junction between the box and the cover.
- the box may for example be formed by a tube which is open at one end, the open end of the tube being closed by a cover.
- the tube is open at its two ends, the ends each being closed by a cover.
