Abstract

In the western world, explosive safety is a permanent worry of the ammunition designers, manufacturers and users. The absence of main accidents in France for many years proves the efficiency of the regulations and /or the chosen technical solutions. Yet, the improvement of munitions performances means an increase of their potential hazards ; besides, their directions for use evolve and the threats, particularly during crisis, increase.
