弹药安全的新发展——安全弹药刍议

正现代战争战场环境日趋复杂,从以前的单一途径对抗发展到舰船、战机、导弹、电磁干扰、网络攻击、定向能武器等相结合的复杂体系对抗,既有各类导弹的相互攻击,也有各类舰机的直接对抗,还有复杂电磁环境和电子攻击等信息对抗,甚至面临激光、高功率微波等定向能武器的非对称打击。战斗模式更加多维化,从以前的海、陆、空独立作战的低维模式到海、陆、空、天立体交叉打击多维模式发展,许多大型的高价值作战平台应运而生。同时,弹药毁伤巨能化、高效化,打击精准

New Development of Ammunition Safety: Robust Munitions

The battlefield environment of modern war is becoming more and more complicated. The ammunition is facing severe mechanical, heat and electromagnetic environment, which demands higher safety. The concept of insensitive munitions (IMs) was proposed by the United States in the 1980s regarding the severe enviroments. With the implementation of insensitive ammunition program, the catastrophic accidents due to ammunition explosions were significantly reduced. Furthmore, the concept of robust munitions (RMs) was proposed by the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics in 2013. RMs are the ammunitions that can not only meet the requirements of damage efficiency, but also with high safety in the actual combat stimulus, better environmental adaptability in full-life profile. According to the safety performance, RMs can be divided into three levels, one star, two stars and three stars. One star RMs are equivalent to insensitive ammunition. RMs development involves many scientific, technical and engineering aspects and needs to be handled systemically.
