If the results of testing on T-60 TDC, DAVINCH DV65, and SDC2000 rocket motor destruction are favorable for all of the explosive destruction technologies suitable to this task, For these three vendor-supplied technologies, the the Army could use either the CH2M HILL D-100 and discussions on evaluation factors for Requirement BG-2 TC-60 TDC combination, the DAVINCH DV65, or apply. Campaign lengths projected by the committee the Dynasafe SDC2000 technology for Requirement would be relatively short: TC-60 TDC, about 10 weeks BG-3.

The DAVINCH DV65 is a close second choice. The Dynasafe SDC2000 and the TC-60 TDC Table S-4 presents the overall ratings for Require are also acceptable choices.
