Insensitive Munitions

Insensitive munitions are munitions which reliably fulfil their performance, readiness and operational requirements on demand, but which minimise the probability of inadvertent initiation and severity of subsequent collateral damage to weapon platforms, logistic systems and personnel when subjected to unintentional stimuli. More simply, IM are munitions which:
  • Burn when subjected to fast or slow heating, bullet or fragment attack
  • Do not detonate when subjected to shape charge jet impact or when another munition detonates in a stack
