Safe. Compliant. Strategic Energetics Disposal & UXO Support
Sentinel Energetics Disposal delivers advanced treatment solutions for rocket propellants and energetics, plus expert UXO consulting and field support — all under one experienced team.
Our Solutions
Sentinel Energetics Disposal provides two complementary service lines: specialized energetics treatment and disposal, and full-spectrum UXO consulting and field support. Together they offer clients a complete, safety-focused solution for complex munitions and propellant challenges.
Energetics Treatment & Disposal
We are developing a permitted, standalone Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) focused on the safe neutralization of rocket propellants and energetics for defense and aerospace clients. - Non-thermal chemical neutralization - Contained thermal treatment systems - Full RCRA TSDF capabilities (Treatment, Storage & Disposal) - Safer alternative to traditional open burn / open detonation (OB/OD) - Reduced transportation risk and cost through strategic location - Rapid-response disposal support Our hybrid technology approach combines non-thermal chemical neutralization with contained thermal systems. Located in Highland Industrial Park, East Camden, Arkansas — next door to major propellant generators — we eliminate long-distance shipping risks while enabling faster turnaround for clients.
UXO Consulting & Field Support
We provide experienced UXO consulting, remediation support, and field services for government and commercial clients across the Pacific and CONUS. - UXO site characterization and planning - Technical approach and proposal development - Risk and hazard analyses - SOP development - Engineering controls - Anomaly avoidance escort - Safety program management and oversight - Project management and remediation support - Procurement support - Public outreach Our team includes certified SUXOS, UXOSO, and UXOQC personnel with deep experience in remote Pacific environments, including Kwajalein, Saipan, Guam, and Hawaii, as well as CONUS sites. We focus on delivering projects safely, on time, and with strong cost efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Our Technology Approach
Sentinel’s hybrid treatment model pairs non-thermal chemical neutralization with contained thermal systems. This approach is designed to reduce reliance on traditional open burn and open detonation methods while improving safety, environmental performance, and operational control. We are currently advancing feasibility testing and pursuing full RCRA TSDF permitting and ATF compliance to operate as a fully permitted standalone facility.
Strategic Location Advantage
Our planned facility is located in Highland Industrial Park, East Camden, Arkansas — one of the largest U.S. defense and aerospace hubs. Being next door to major propellant generators eliminates the risks and high costs of long-distance transportation and allows for rapid response to client needs.
