Abstract
A system and process for neutralizing unexploded ordinances and clearing explosive infested areas such that maneuvers can be both readily and confidently continued without significant delay is disclosed. The system clears such unexploded ordnances infested areas by initially spraying the explosive infested area with a cryogenic liquid to neutralize the unexploded ordinances and reduce an output voltage of a detonator of the unexploded ordinances thereby rendering the unexploded ordinances inert, gathering the now unexploded ordinances and submerging the inert unexploded ordinances in a tank containing the same or similar cryogenic liquid so that the unexploded ordinances are maintained in a neutralized and inert state to allow for disposal. Alternatively, the neutralization of unexploded ordinance and clearing of explosive infested areas may be carried out by spraying the explosive infested area with liquefied methane to neutralize the unexploded ordinance and reduce an output voltage of a detonator of the unexploded ordinances to render such ordinance inert, igniting the liquefied methane, deflagrating the unexploded ordinances at a temperature less than that required for detonation and subsequently removing the neutralized ordinances from the explosive infested area.
