This report summarizes theoretical and experimental data on the insensitive explosive 3,3’-diamino-4,4’-azoxyfurazan, DAAF, C₄H₄N₈O₃.

This report summarizes theoretical and experimental data gathered from the public domain on a new insensitive explosive azoxytriazolon, AZTO, C₄H₄N₈O₃.

The present report summarizes the adiabatic equilibrium composition and combustion temperature for the following energetic materials: black powder, Magnesium/Teflon/Viton, red Bengal flare composition, spectral flare composition, Al/MoO3-thermite, M 30 gun propellant at various pressures ranging

Since the 1990s a large number of insensitive energetic materials have been under consideration for insensitive munitions purposes.  After the landmark paper by Doherty and Simpson [4], new candidate materials have entered the field and others have vanished for different reasons.

Infrared decoy flares serve the protection of aerial platforms such as helicopters, fixed wing and jet propelled planes against infrared guided air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles [1-3].  These flares are jettonised from the craft at high speed and upon combustion develop a strong infrare

Fuel-air mixtures are powerful volumetric explosives (FAE) that were developed at the end of World War II. FAE may virtually use any particulate combustible such as cornstarch powder, metal powders, liquid hydrocarbons or boron hydrides and any type of combustible gases.
