ABSTRACT
While much of the military equipment that is susceptible to chemical or biological threat agents can be decontaminated with aqueous decontamination agents, there are broad classes of critical equipment, including optical, electronic and communication devices, that are rendered nonfunctional by such treatment. Historically, such equipment had been decontaminated by spraying and flushing with CFC113. CFC-113 however, is an Ozone Depleting Compound (ODC) which was
eliminated from all DOD activities by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993.
