DX demonstrates capabilities for students

July 27, 2005

The Dynamic Experimentation (DX) Division conducted a student demonstration shot Tuesday morning at Technical Area 36. The demonstration shot provided an opportunity for more than 300 students - they observed the shot from a half-mile away - from organizations within the Weapons Directorate (ADWP) to observe the detonation of 500 pounds of high explosives.

The shot also provided an opportunity for students to observe associated DX capabilities, including access control, communication, clearance procedures and the importance of adhering to safety requirements in explosives operations.
