A high mass flow pyrotechnic gas generator in the aft end of a hard target penetrating warhead generates hot gases during penetration into a chemical or biological manufacturing or storage facility. This device will act to place neutralizing gases in and near the entry hole made in the target where viable infectious agents are most likely to be dispersed early in the warhead event before the operation of the main warhead charge. The gas generating material, which may be similar to a composite solid propellant, will produce very hot gases preferably containing hydrogen chloride and vapor phase moisture or other chemical sanitizing material. The combination acts as a neutralizer to render chemical and/or biological agents inert. The neutralizer will mix with the chemical and/or biological agents during the initial surge of aerosolized chemical and/or biological agents released in the target and render them harmless.
