This projectile impact sensitivity test was developed by the
Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The high-explosive test
sample configured in the form of a right circular cylinder
and weighing about 0.45 kg is loaded into an aluminum
cap, which becomes the head of a steel-bodied projectile.
Projectiles containing the test explosive in the nose cap are
fired from a gun at progressively increasing velocities
against a rigid steel target. The overpressure resulting from
the impact or from subsequent events such as explosions or
detonations are determined. Results are generally reported
as a single sensitivity curve with overpressure, normalized
