Publications - Energetic Materials

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 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.

Ce document contient le compte-rendu de l'atelier NIMIC 1993 sur la sensibilité des matériaux énergétiques fracturés ou granulaires, tenu à l'US  Army Edgewood Conference Center, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD (Etats-Unis) du 19 au 21 juillet 1993.

This document contains the Proceedings of the 3-day NIMIC Workshop on Sensitivity of Energetic Materials when Fractured or Granular held at the US Army Edgewood Conference Center, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD (USA) during the period 19-21 July 1993.

Designers, programme managers and users of weapon systems need to be constantly aware of the hazards which may result from munitions exposed to stimuli that may occur during their service life as the result of accidental or aggressive threats. These threats include:

The field of this compendium is restricted to those formulations which are possible candidates to Insensitive Munitions (IM).

Dans le présent recueil sont récapitulés, classés et analysés un nombre de documents publiés entre 1987 et 1992 dans deux domaines apparentés :

This survey compiles, arranges and analyses a number of documents issued between 1987 and 1992 on two germane topics:

This document is the first product of a programme to collate data on the physical and chemical properties of new explosive ingredients that is normally dispersed throughout many papers, journals and laboratory notebooks.
