Electrostatic Discharge Study of HMX Actuators

摘要

All-secondary HMX explosive actuators have been demonstrated insensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) stimuli. Fifty-five units both new and exposed to various environments, were successfully ESD-tested with the ESD test commonly used for DOE components. An overtest also failed to function the actuator. All evidence to date indicates that all-secondary actuators are highly insensitive to ESD. 1 fig., 1 tab. (ERA citation 12:031622)
