International efforts, particularly amongst the MSIAC member nations, between 1979 and 2004 to develop, demonstrate, and implement composite (reinforced plastic) rocket motor cases in tactical missile programs, with an emphasis on the use of the latest generation high-strength graphite (carbon) f

For a long time, NIMIC has been promoting the use of modeling, protocols, small scale testing, generic testing, data on similar munitions or munitions using the same or similar EM, and expert analysis in order to aid in the prediction of munitions IMness or Safety and to increase the confidence i

The current major design drivers for modern-day weapon systems include the increasing demand for both improved performance to defeat new or perceived future targets and for improved insensitiveness of the weapon system to unplanned, accidental stimuli.

A hazard assessment protocol is an ordered procedure consisting of a flow chart directing the user through the evaluation of a hazard area.

The most effective method for achieving successful Insensitive Munition (IM) design is to use a systems approach. The three key elements in the IM systems approach are:

Electrical circuits employed in fuzes to detonate energetic materials operate over a wide range of voltages and energies depending on the system requirement.
