Abstract:

A computer-aided explosives hazard survey system was developed by Integrated Systems Analysts, Inc. ISA to support the Air Force Explosive Hazard Reduction EHR Program. The purpose of the EHR program is to identify and qualify threats and operational restrictions posed by the presence of AF munitions stocks and recommend approaches to reduce or mitigate these threats and restrictions. The prototype of this system was put into operational use at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, in October 1994. More than 1450 facilities were surveyed for potential hazards based on the criteria in the Air Force Explosives Safety Standards. This paper will provide the reader an overview of the surveys results and automated explosives site planning capabilities.
