Bi-Directional Destruct Charge (BDDC) - Multiple usages, optimal advantages

Bulk Destruct Charge
The best preventative defense begins with EBAD standard >0.999 reliability and the ability to offer multiple solutions in a single unit. The EBAD Bi-Directional Destruct Charge (BDDC), both EWR 127-1 and RCC-319 compliant, is an explosive 6.9” diameter pancake charge that blasts shrapnel from a set of two lead discs in opposing directions. Upon detonation, the disc shrapnel is propelled towards the target, rupturing it on impact. A typical target can be the fuel and oxidizer tanks of a liquid propelled rocket motor. This destruct event halts the flow of propellant to the rocket engine's combustion chamber, thereby terminating the flight. In the event of the fuel/oxidizer being hypergolic (self igniting), a complete destruction of the vehicle can be achieved with this additional explosive energy.
