Task Offers “Everything Egress,” Including Disposal of Expired Pyrotechnic Devices

Task Aerospace, Inc. has performed the first pyrotechnic device disposal action for a NATO country operating within the US. Foreign operators flying within the United States face this near-impossible task when they change out pyrotechnic devices while operating in the US. The US military cannot accept the expired pyrotechnic devices from a foreign country. Task Aerospace offers the complete service, from providing correct and complete paperwork and packaging to explosives pick-up at any facility in the US. Task was awarded this contract and has packaged and removed all expired pyrotechnic devices from the Air National Guard base that the NATO Country was operating from.
