Downloaded Supplementary Charges From the Demilitarization of High Explosive Loaded Munitions Testing and Evaluation Results

Abstract

This report describes the results of testing and evaluation of supplementary charges that were previously downloaded from demilitarization of high explosive loaded munitions. Five tests were selected to obtain performance and sensitivity data. The objective of this testing and evaluation was to confirm that the performance of downloaded supplementary charges has not been affected by aging and exposure to environmental elements. Samples of supplementary charges manufactured in 1997 were tested for direct comparison with the charges produced in the 1970's.
