The Israel Ministry of Defense Contracted I.E.O.D. Engineering LTD. for the task of the disposal of tens of Bullpup AGM type rocket motors. These motors contain fuel and oxidizer - a hypergolic liquid propellant system. The proposed and executed disposal method was ignition of the motors. A remote desert site was selected for the disposal work. A burning pit was excavated for each rocket motor. A firing cable was laid from each motor to a remote central location. The motors were emplaced and improvised electrical igniters were inserted in the motor's ignition device well. During disposal, the motors were ignited individually with delays between them depending on the wind speed and direction. Details are given for a case of one motor which was destroyed in place due to hazardous condition.
