| About the Technology: |
 The primary system, Chemical Biological Explosives Containment System (CBECS) is a pneumatic structure supporting a Kevlar tent with a filling sock for aqueous foam. It is approximately 7 feet in diameter at the base and tapers to about 4 feet in diameter at the top. Once inflated, the unit is designed to be placed over the device/munition and filled with blast suppressive foam. The secondary containment shelter (workshelter) is also an airframe, which is easily inflated and placed over the primary containment system (CBECS). |

| Applications: |
|
Military and Commercial Significance: |
| The workshelter is designed to contain/mitigate the residual effects (primarily, escaping fragments and vapors/aerosols from the primary containment system) associated with the detonation of the device/munition. |
|
The Army’s Edgewood Chemical Biological Center entered into a patent license agreement with ZUMRO Inc. (Willow Grove, Pennsylvania), a leader in the life safety industry, to market CBECS to commercial customers. Both the primary and secondary containment systems were jointly designed by the Army’s Chemical/Biological Counterterrorism Team and ZUMRO and then fabricated by ZUMRO. |
