JOINT INSENSITIVE MUNITIONS SUB-COMMITTEE

The DoD has dedicated Program Elements in Applied Research and Advanced Technology Development for Joint Insensitive Munitions Technologies. The purpose of these efforts are to develop a fundamental understanding and to demonstrate enabling and applied technologies and that will enable current and future munitions to minimize the severity and/or probability of response to the IM classes of threats (fast cookoff, slow cookoff, bullet impact, fragment impact, sympathetic detonation, and shaped charge jet). The five Technical Areas where the Department's efforts are focused include; (1) High Performance Rocket Propulsion, (2) Minimum Signature Rocket Propulsion, (3) Blast-Fragmenting Warheads, (4) Anti-Armor Warheads, and (5) Large Caliber Gun Propulsion.
