L-257 Life Cycle Cost Method And Examples For Munition Health Monitoring
03 April 2020
Within the NATO context, a cost benefit analysis (CBA) is a valuable support tool for economic analysis for defence programs. A major part of any CBA is a sound life cycle cost analysis of all options.

L-218 Material Selection And Property-Processing Implications In Additive Manufactured Materials For Munitions
19 February 2020
Additive manufacturing (also referred to as AM) offers many opportunities in the munition design space to tailor bulk properties, such as spatially-variant composition, density, etc., with intent to subsequently affect macro behavior through changes in stress/strain profiles, variable

L-255 Instrumentation Techniques Velocity of Detonation
21 February 2020
Detonation properties are part of the performance requirements for any explosive material. They include the density, the detonation pressure and the velocity of detonation (VoD).

L-217 Ageing Of Munition Materials
26 October 2019
The ageing of materials in munitions as reported in the open literature is reviewed within the framework of materials engineering. The focus is on polymeric materials and molecular solids encountered in energetic materials.

O-212 Slow Heating Test Thermal Equilibrium and Maximum ReactionTemperature
03 October 2019
STANAG 4382 Slow Heating, Munitions Test Procedures has been reviewed and updated by the AC/326 SG/B Slow Heating Custodial Working Group. As part of this process, questions arose as to guidance for thermal soaking and maximum testing temperature.

L-254 Analytical Response Models (ARM) Application Specification
29 October 2019
ARM is to be a "toolbox" of empirical and analytical models dedicated to ammunition safety. The intent is to provide a toolbox that includes a variety of initiation models and an optimization framework in order to parameterize models.

O-213 Magazine Loading Density Detonation Estimation
03 October 2019
An analysis has been conducted to develop a method to estimate critical loading density conditions that, after the deflagration ignition of the munitions in a magazine, will lead to transition to detonation of these munitions.

O-202 Results Of The Improved Explosives And Munitions Risk Management Workshop
04 October 2019
The Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management (IEMRM) workshop was held from 10 to 14 September 2018, in Granada, Spain.

O-210 Non-Hero Microwave Hazards To Munitions
01 October 2019
Accidental initiation of munitions via the heating of bridgewires by radiofrequency (RF) radiation (i.e. HERO) is well understood; far less work has been undertaken to determine how bulk energetic materials (cased or uncased) directly respond to exposure to RF radiation.
