    Crane Army Ammunition Activity

    A Crane Army Ammunition Activity explosives handler displays a warning label freshly printed on an aircraft countermeasure flare from her safety-controlled, static-free workstation on a pyrotechnic production line. In a joint venture with the U.S. Air Force, the countermeasures decoy flare program at CAAA is pioneering new technology in the form of a Keyence MK-G 1000 continuous ink jet printer which is able to safely print such warning labels onto live energetic munitions. This process is making it safer for Crane Army operators and anyone that may find an expended flare on the ground.
