- Abstract
- This report discusses the safety assessment of Deck-Mounted Launchers (DMLs) reported in an earlier Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC) letter report. An analysis of a Basic Point-Defense Missile System (BPDMS) launcher fast-cookoff test reported is also discussed. Weapon cookoff, firefighting, and fire characterization tests are evaluated to determine present DML damage control shipboard capabilities and assess the need for additional investigative efforts.
