1. ATTITUDE: “The IM Problem is Too Complicated to Solve”

• The science is poorly understood• How do you define “insensitive?”• Can insensitivity be quantified?

SOLUTION

Force “Outside the Box” Thinking(Make waivers increasingly difficult to justify.)

3. Test Protocols Are Not Standardized Between the Services

• Testing Rationale• Testing Requirements• Testing Details• Minimizes Data Pool, Greatly Slows Learning, Precludes Munition Comparisons

SOLUTION

Establish a Standardized Data Repository(Only accepts specified parameters derived under certified conditions.)

4. IM Test Results Are Not Centralized—Nor Shared (therefore, CANNOT maximize rate of learning)

• Confined Within an IPT• Restricted Between IPTs• ARDEC vs. Indian Head vs. China Lake• U.S. vs. NATO

SOLUTION

Develop a Centralized Database—Require Submissions(JROC only accepts output reports from this database.)

6. Incident “Root Cause” Analyses Are Not Incorporated Into a Database

• IM Development Process = (1) Energetic Material, (2) Munition Design, (3) Packaging• Incidence Evaluations = (1) Political, (2) Public Relations, (3) Scientific (?)• Every Incident Derives from Chemical Changes (Physical/Chemical/Thermodynamic)• Greatest Learning Opportunity

RESOLUTION

Develop a Chemical-Based “Root Cause” for Each Incident(Push the Envelope — Maximize Lessons Learned)

I-MACS ConclusionsI-MACS ConclusionsInsensitive Munitions Analytical Compliance System (I-MACS) Concept

• I-MACS will centralize/standardize IM criteria

Munition Specific

• I-MACS will facilitate IM development—improve “IMness”

• I-MACS will accelerate scientific understanding of IMs

• I-MACS will enhance and integrate IM analytical capabilities

• I-MACS will improve with use

• I-MACS should not be rejected simply because it is not mature
