A four-day, invitational workshop sponsored by the NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) was held between 12-15 March 1996 at China Lake, CA with the NAWC Insensitive Munitions community acting as hosts for the event.

It is not possible to comprehensively model the tests used in insensitive munitions (IM) assessment. Neither is it possible to directly correlate small scale (laboratory) tests to the all-up-round (AUR) IM tests.

The NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) held a workshop on "What Makes A Useable New Energetic Material?" at NATO HQ in Brussels, Belgium on 22-24 June 1994.

Ce document contient le compte rendu d'une réunion d'experts sur la rationalisation des tests de sécurité pour munitions, organisée par le NIMIC à la suite du 26ème séminaire du DDESB en août 1994. Cette réunion d'experts s'est déroulée en deux groupes de travail:

The NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) held a three day workshop hosted by the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and held at the Edgewood Conference Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, USA from 19 to 21 July 1993.

In the last 50 years, very many new energetic compounds have been made as potential ingredients for explosive, propellant and pyrotechnic formulations. Of these compounds very few have come to be used in military munitions.

The NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) held a workshop on "What Makes A Useable New Energetic Material?" at NATO HQ in Brussels, Belgium on 22-24 June 1994.

The NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) held a three-day workshop on Cookoff at NATO HQ in Brussels, Belgium on 23-25 June 1993. Fifty specialists, including the NIMIC staff and delegates from the NIMIC participating nations (CA, FR, NL, UK and US), attended the meeting.

The three papers in this document discuss the issues related to various stages in the sequence from the conception of a new molecule to the qualification of a munition.
