Buy and Burn: Factoring Demilitarization into Ammunition Procurement (RASR Issue Brief 2)

Buy and Burn: Factoring Demilitarization into Ammunition Procurement, compiled by the Small Arms Survey in support of the RASR Initiative, aims to increase participating states’ awareness of the future costs they will incur in disposing of the weapons and ammunition that they acquire today.

It also profiles the options for reducing demilitarization costs in the future—including offsetting disposal costs in the purchase price and ‘design for demil’ (DfD) technologies—and the impact this is likely to have on states’ retention of surpluses in the future.

Also available in ALBANIAN, BCMS, and BULGARIAN.
