NATO Establishes Insensitive Munitions Information Center

Abstract

The NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) has been established as a clearinghouse for information in insensitive munitions and munitions safety. The pilot facility is located at the Johns Hopkins Univ. Applied Physics Lab, Laurel, MD. The NIMIC focuses on technologies that can reduce inadvertent detonation during manufacture, storage, transportation, or deployment. The NIMIC receives information in the form of technical reports, meeting papers, monographs, journal articles etc., as well as specifications (materials, systems, and environments) and test techniques and procedures. Bibliographic information is extracted and entered into relational databases.
