An Advanced Insensitive, Tunable Initiation System for Insensitive High Explosives Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2010.1 Topic No.: N101-008 Topic Title: An Advanced Insensitive, Tunable Initiation System for Insensitive High Explosives Proposal No.: N101-008-1790 Firm: Physical Sciences Inc. 20 New England Business Center Andover, Massachusetts 01810-1077 Contact: Allan Dokhan Phone: (978) 689-0003 Web Site: http://www.psicorp.com Abstract: Physical Sciences Inc. has proposed to develop an innovative insensitive munition initiation system for insensitive high explosives that has the capacity to selectively modify the performance of the warhead. During Phase I, we have proposed to design, develop, and demonstrate feasibility of our technology initiating insensitive high explosives based on a user selectable input and in assessing its performance and reliability to DoD environmental standards. Benefits: Demonstration of an insensitive munition initiating system for insensitive explosives that is also capable of tuning the level required for target defeat and not greatly exceed that requirement will have multiple applications throughout the DoD weapon development programs and commercial explosive industry. Integration of our device into explosives will augment all present and future system development in the US. Return
