The combined effects aluminized explosives PAX-29, PAX-30, and PAX-42 developed by ARDEC have been demonstrated to achieve excellent metal pushing and high blast energies in both cylinder test and warhead configurations (1). The detonation behavior of additional explosive compositions is being investigated using the Jaguar thermochemical equation of state in conjunction with experimental data for these systems. For these studies accurate equation of state parameters are required for a wide range of gaseous, liquid, and solid explosive components and reaction products.
