U.S. Navy Insensitive Munitions Information System Munition Status Information Center (User's Guide)

Abstract

The Munitions Status Information Center (MSIC) is a database that contains test information and results on munitions exposed to insensitive munitions-related stimuli. The data files are programmed in a user-friendly, menu-driven environment to allow non-computer-oriented professionals to access and manipulate the data. This document is written with a step-by-step approach to access the MSIC data. Programs have been written and refined to allow the entry and use of (1) weapon response to fast cookoff, slow cookoff, bullet impact, fragment impact, and sympathetic detonation testing; and (2) generic IM (Insensitive Munitions) engineering development test results. The programs are usable with IBM, IBM compatible, and Macintosh personal computers.
