Anti-Armor, Confined Space, Reduced Sensitivity (AT4CS-RS) Insensitive Munitions (IM) Effort: Summary and Conclusions

Abstract

An effort was initiated to develop an insensitive munitions packaging solution for the AT4CS-RS.The effort investigated several promising designs. Initial engineering testing showed that the most promising design is the deflection plate concept, which will achieve a type IV reaction for Slow Cook Off, Fast Cook Off, and Bullet Impact testing with a minimal impact to the cost and the weight to the packaged AT4.
