Abstract:

The National Insensitive Munitions Information System NIMIS-II is a working and fielded analysis tool, specifically designed to provide the weapons development community with a centralized source of Insensitive Munitions IM test data and other related information. In order to avoid duplication of costly testing and to centralize the available IM test data, a national repository of these data was developed. This multi-service system comprises all IM testing and related work, to include such data as Baseline tests, for score and not for score, generic weapons development tests, as well as energetic materials test and qualification data. With a user base of over 500 previous and current users, this system has a proven track record of providing timely data to developers and managers on specific IM issues. It has served as a valuable tool to scientists, engineers, and managers throughout the weapon life cycle process. Serving as a repository of a broad data spectrum, NIMIS-II is a powerful analysis tool for those engaged in solving IM design problems. Distribution of the NIMIS-II is authorized to Government agencies and their Contractors.
