Abstract

The project Ammunition and energy systems safety, funded by the Swedish Armed Forces, has performed safety related research in the area of energetic materials and energetic systems, such as batteries during one year. The overall aim of the project is to investigate, understand and to evaluate safety aspects of energetic materials and energetic processes in order to maintain and develop knowledge. This report presents the research and development performed during 2020. A summary of other projects, in which the knowledge developed in this project plays an important role, is also given.
