Besides its obvious destructive potential, military R&D also
serves to protect human lives, equipment and facilities against the
effects of weapons. Concepts have therefore been developed that
improve safety of stationary and mobile facilities against pressure
waves, thermal radiation and fire. Effective, fast fire
extinguishing equipment has been designed for tank compartments and
motors. Closed buildings are demolished and landmines are removed
with gas and dust explosions. Stringent safety requirements have
been developed for the production of ammunition and explosives.
Military and related industries have accumulated a vast knowledge
and sophisticated experience that are very valuable in a variety of
civil applications. The knowledge is based on theoretical and
experimental research work, the origin of which sometimes dates
back many centuries. It has often been classified and therefore has
remained unknown to the civilian population, until now.
