L-257 Life Cycle Cost Method And Examples For Munition Health Monitoring
03 April 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-255 Instrumentation Techniques Velocity of Detonation
21 February 2020
Detonation properties are part of the performance requirements for any explosive material. They include the density, the detonation pressure and the velocity of detonation (VoD).

O-215 A Better Use of IM-HC Test Results
08 October 2019
During the 2018 MSIAC Improved Explosives and Munitions Risk Management (IEMRM) workshop, it was recognized by the community that low violence reaction types such as a burn on one side, and high violence reactions such as detonations on the other side, are relatively well understood.

O-208 Fragmentation From Detonations And Less Violent Munition Responses
04 October 2019
An increasing number of munitions now show less violent responses than detonation in cook off or impact scenarios. The detonation of a warhead typically leads to well reproducible fragmentation effects.

O-206 TNT and Blast Equivalency Characterization of Energetic Materials
31 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.

O-207 Reaction Mechanisms for Rocket Motors under Mechanical Insults
31 July 2019
Rocket motors are designed to propel payloads to their final destination by ejecting hot gases through a nozzle. The gases are produced by combustion of fuel and oxidizers, which can be separated (hybrid combustion) or mixed with each other (gun propellant, propellant grain).
