High Deflagration Rate (HIDEF). Igniter Technology Applications

Abstract

This report is the final report for Phase 1 of the HIDEF Program. The purpose of this report and of Phase 1 was to develop a background for addressing key issues in structuring an exploratory HIDEF technology program. In the course of Phase 1, literature, data and opinion on potential HIDEF candidate materials were gathered from a variety of sources including libraries and government and private laboratories. The objective was to identify those classes of chemical compounds which might be suitable for further development into a black powder replacement, especially in large caliber guns. Potential igniter configurations were also examined.
