Gun Propellants for Low Vulnerability Ammunitions,

Abstract

Significant efforts have been reported in developing new less sensitive gun propellants. These efforts must be translated in significant improvement in vulnerability of weapons. Defining clearly the objectives, would be an essential step. Thermal effects can be very lethal in some situations. It could be useful to define 1-3 b munitions which would burn with a not too high radiant heat.
