Insensitive munitions (IM) is a research area focused on developing explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnics that are less prone to accidental detonation and are more stable and safe to handle. The aim of IM research is to reduce the likelihood of unintentional explosions during storage, transportation, handling, and use of military munitions. This field includes studying the chemistry, materials science, and engineering principles required to design and produce munitions that are insensitive to external stimuli such as heat, impact, friction, and shock. IM technology also considers environmental impact and sustainability factors in the development of safer munitions for military use.
