These tests were conducted to determine a safe method by which Field Activities could dispose of Air-2A 'Genie' Rocket Motors. Six each rocket motors were tested by six separate methods to determine the most efficient and safest disposal method. The desired result was a method which would vent the case, without scattering propellant over a large area or detonating it. The results of these tests showed that venting the case was an unreliable and unsafe method to use in disposing of motors. Each method that relied on destruction of the motor case (P/N 3-318795) produced detonations which scattered propellant and/or metal shrapnel over a large area. The most successful method tested was removing the exit cone (P/N 3-014124) from the rocket motor, burying the rocket motor vertically (36-48 inches deep) then static firing it with an MXU-35/A igniter or MA-1 igniter. This is the only recommended method for disposing of Genie Rocket Motors. (Author)
