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.

O-214 MSIAC Workshop 2020 Defects - Causes, Classification and Criticality
03 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.

O-183 Laboratory Setback Activator Tests for Gun Launch Explosive Suitability
19 December 2017
A major safety concerns for energetic materials present in gun launched munitions is the exposure to severe set-back forces which develop as the shell is accelerated. Table I presents a listing of typical projectile accelerations associated with different gun launches [1,2]. Under the
