Cookoff Protocol for Munition Assessment

Abstract

The methods presented in this protocol were developed over several years and successfully applied to design and analysis of a number of munitions and a number of energetic material (EM) laboratory-scale tests. Before the protocol can be applied with high confidence to new energetic material, it must be tested for high temperature behaviors and properties that are obvious throughout the sections of the protocol. The original approach to developing these methods was based upon protocol flowcharts developed by The Technical Cooperation Program W Action Group-11 (TICP WAG-11) and then taken over for upgrading, maintenance, and distribution by the NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC).
