Description of the Book:

As part of the U.S. Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) Project ESKIMORE and in conjunction with ongoing ISO container trials conducted by the United Kingdom, the U.S. has conducted the ISO-3 test series in Woomera, Australia. Whereas previous ISO container tests in this program have utilized a non-fragmenting source, ANFO, this testing consisted of two experiments to study the airblast and debris effects produced by the detonation of 1054 kg (2,324 lbs) Net Explosive Quantity (NEQ) of M1 105 mm projectiles and their associated propellant cartridges inside a standard ISO container. ISO-3 actually consisted of two tests. The first involved the detonation of these munitions inside an ISO container. The second tested the detonation of an identical amount of material with the same configuration in the open. A full 360 debris recovery was accomplished on each event outside a 100 m (328 ft) radius from ground zero.

The setup of the ISO-3 test series and the types of data that were collected are described. In addition, the test data and information regarding the container breakup and debris generation are presented
