ASTRID: The Ammunition Safety Test Reports International Database

Abstract

In a NIMIC specialists' meeting on Streamlining Safety Testing for Munitions, it was highlighted that the current NATO standardised way of carrying out IM testing and assessing munitions safety should be improved because of the low confidence level of the results/munitions responses. This is also sponsored by the AC310/IM STANAG Expert's group in charge of drafting an AOP to support this STANAG. Under its Memorandum of Understanding, NIMIC makes a proposal for the benefit of its member nations to compile in a new database under formats -- still be agreed by its future users -- the relevant and reliable safety test reports on generic mock-ups, test vehicles, components and munitions.
