DESTRUCTION
When items are identified as chemical filled, destruction technologies safely and effectively destroy munitions of all shapes
and sizes — providing complete containment of the neutralization process while protecting operators, the community and environment.
RCMD maintains and deploys the following destruction technologies: Explosive Destruction System (EDS), Single CAIS Access and
Neutralization System (SCANS), Transportable Detonation Chamber (TDC), Large Item Transportable Access and Neutralization System
(LITANS) and Magnetic Induction Decontamination System (MIDS).
Explosive Destruction System (EDS)
The Explosive Destruction System (EDS) provides on-site treatment of chemical warfare materiel in a safe, environmentally
compliant manner.
Large Item Transportable Access and Neutralization System (LITANS)
The LITANS treats large RCWM items, such as ton containers, that are not treatable through other RCMD technologies.
Single CAIS Access and Neutralization System (SCANS)
The SCANS is a portable chemical reactor system that treats small quantities of chemical agent found in CAIS items.
CAIS items were used to train Soldiers in the identification and disposal of chemical agent.
