The purpose of this handbook is to provide a general understanding of the nature of explosions and explosives. It is intended not as a textbook or technical manual, but as a source of background information for police, security, and other law enforcement officials finding themselves involved in the prevention and control of the illegal use of explosives.

Field Expedient Methods for Explosives Preparation takes explosive synthesis to the field. This handbook is designed primarily for the combatant under pressure and in need of explosives with minimal resources.

Gerald L. Hurst, AKA Jerry (Ico), is a Cambridge Ph.D. chemist with experience in explosives and fire-related matters, having been Chief Scientist of the Atlas Powder Company, the then largest explosives manufacturer in the U.S.: he developed the trade secret formulas for Liquid Paper (Gillette), patented the so-called “Mylar” balloons (the metallized helium balloons found in super- markets), Astrolite A-1-5 (coinventor) and the best-known Kinepak binary explosive. He has an extensive forensic experience in arson/murder cases dating back 30 years: much of his present work involves the analysis of fires and explosions to determine the cause and origin.

This manual provides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) personnel with the procedures to be used to perform engineering and design activities for all phases of Ordnance and Explosives (OE) response actions.

Several initiation-based selectable detonation techniques have been developed to allow shaped charge warheads to achieve not only deep penetration, but also to exhibit enhanced lethality effects against light armored targets, geologic materials and in a variety of demolition applications. This paper demonstrates all aspects of this explosives development and testing.
