(a) List of munitions

(b) Others

This, in turn, required a strong munitions industry.

Given that small arms are inoperable without ammunition, the flow of ammunition for small arms and light weapons must also be brought under control.

It would be going too far to liken these munitions to genuine cluster munitions, as one shell carries only two BONUS munitions at a time.

The comments made on the Small Arms Ammunition 14.5mm are also applicable to the Cannon ammunition 14.5mm.

OGR munitions are delivered by artillery shells.

In addition, 33,604 pieces of ordnance for heavy weapons were recovered.

What measures have been taken by your State to implement those existing principles of international humanitarian law that are considered by your State as relevant to the use of munitions, including submunitions, that may become ERW?

The questions in part one of the paper will allow the Group to gather information on which IHL principles are considered applicable to the use of munitions that may become ERW, in particular submunitions.

This approach has the dual benefit of solving the stability issue and increasing the safety of sarin munitions.

Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn't know who shall gather.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew surely they are disquieted in vain he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

This high precision missile carries 10 KRISS runway penetrating submunitions.

France now plans to acquire a trajectory correction system on OGR munitions.

What measures have been taken by your State to implement those existing principles of international humanitarian law that are considered by your State as relevant to the use of munitions, including submunitions, that may become ERW?

Trinidad and Tobago is neither a producer nor an exporter of arms, ammunition and other related material.

I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, even the God of Israel.

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

In addition, no evidence of biological munitions filled with dry agents was found.

The use of depleted uranium (DU) in munitions is controversial because of questions about potential long term health effects.

Thus, those weapons were not identified as being biological munitions by the inspectors who first observed them in 1991.

Different manufacturers of sub munitions around the world have achieved different levels of dud rates with their sub munitions.

In a very limited number of cases they have related to findings of old chemical munitions produced before 1990.

Independently of the development of satellite guided munitions, research and development under way in France is currently focusing in two major areas

The illegality, for example, of the possession of biological weapons in the form of munitions renders a method to account for their storage or transport as nugatory.

These trials involved munitions supplied by the Iraqi chemical weapons programme and an aerosol spray device modified specifically for the biological weapons programme.

By 1970 several different techniques had been shown to perform well on small text corpora such as the Cranfield collection (several thousand documents).

By increasing the accuracy of each projectile, this technical development should make it possible to reduce substantially the number of OGR munitions needed to attack a given objective, and hence the number of submunitions used The development of systems (submunitions and dispensers) which guarantee very low rates of unexploded submunitions constitutes a second major area of activity.

(h) To secure, neutralize or destroy any weapons, ammunition or any other military materiel surrendered by the former combatants,

The Coalition Munitions Clearance (CMC) Program represents just one of these elements and is currently destroying ammunition at six depots throughout Iraq.

The remnants of biological munitions which Iraq declared had been filled with Bacillus anthracis, botulinum toxin and aflatoxin were provided to the inspectors for verification.

(1) A facility for the production, stockpiling, preservation or destruction of chemical weapons or a facility for the production of unfilled chemical munitions or materials intended for chemical weapons use

The problem was that the fragmentation pattern was too large to sufficiently limit collateral damage and there was also the further problem of potential unexploded ordnance.

These disparities have important financial and technical implications, particularly for the development, production and stockpiling of new munitions, for the retrofitting of existing munitions as well as the decommissioning or destruction of existing stockpiles.

BONUS munitions BONUS 155 mm anti tank artillery shells are designed to neutralize tanks, light armoured vehicles and self propelled artillery vehicles, whether stationary or moving.

Once these risks are identified and prioritised, a more detailed and focused assessment on how to improve the reliability of specific munition natures could be undertaken and an approximate cost estimate to implement this increase in reliability could be determined.

Fortunately the designers had made provisions in the design to increase the reactor's reactivity (the number of neutrons per fission that go on to fission other atoms of nuclear fuel).

Anyone who imports, transports, possesses, lends or leases, sells, gives or abandons firearms or ammunition in violation of the provisions of the aforementioned decree shall be punished by penal servitude and a fine.

I am concerned that during the period March through May 2005, there were eight reported mine or unexploded ordnance incidents in the Temporary Security Zone and in its adjacent areas.

It strives to convince its partners in CCW that technical solutions exist for the improvement of certain munitions so as to reduce the residual risks in the field, while taking into account the military, financial and technical dimensions of the proposed solutions.

Despite the very wide range of ERW present artillery ammunition (looted immediately after the collapse of the regime) appears to be the biggest killer of both soldiers and civilians in Iraq.

The bottom line is that one will be far less likely to have weapons that are producing an unacceptable dud rate, if one is operating weapons that have been designed and tested to ensure they cope with the environment in question.

Both from the point of view of military needs and the civilian population returning to the area after an operation, the ammunition used should be dependable, reliable and work specifically according to its purpose at the moment it is used.
