L-257 Life Cycle Cost Method And Examples For Munition Health Monitoring
March 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
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

O-214 MSIAC Workshop 2020 Defects - Causes, Classification and Criticality
October 2019
Defects in energetic materials or in other materials used in munitions systems are often a cause for concern. This includes voids, cracks, and foreign materials, as well as chemical, physical and or mechanical properties that are outside design tolerance specifications.

L-217 Ageing Of Munition Materials
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-206 TNT and Blast Equivalency Characterization of Energetic Materials
July 2019
When dealing with energetic materials, TNT Equivalency is commonly used for different purposes. For scientific purposes, it is a means to compare the explosive effects delivered by different energetic compositions, by expressing them in terms of an equivalent TNT detonation.

L-219 Lifecycle of flare countermeasures Report 1 Flare countermeasure overview
July 2018
Flare countermeasures are traditionally a mixture of magnesium, Teflon® and Viton® (MTV). Historically, information regarding MTV flares was subject to national security restrictions.
