Insensitive Munitions (IM) Integration Program
Abstract
Demonstrate multiple IM technologies and integrate into end item(s) to improve munitions survivability and warfighter safety. IM Technologies, using State-of-the-Art materials, will be developed in the areas of warhead, propulsion and propellants, explosives, packaging, and barriers. In addition, modeling and simulation will be used to reduce development and testing costs. Efforts will increase the number of IM compliant ammunition items fielded to mitigate munitions reaction to unplanned stimuli such as fire, fragments, enclosed heat build-up (cook-off), bullets, adjacent munitions reaction (sympathetic detonation), and shape charge jet attacks.
