| Abstract A Plastic Bonded Explosives (type PU/RDX) was prepared and cured by casting technique. This aimed for producing a new generation of warheads with high performance and low sensitivity. The obtained PBXs were characterized by determination of melting point, and measurement of some explosive characteristics (Sensitivity to impact and ignition temperature). Properties of this explosive were compared with those of RDX and comp- B by using a computer program. An autodyne program was used to compare the terminal ballistic parameters of 122 mm warhead for different types of explosives (Inert PBXs, energetic PBXs, RDX, and Comp-B). Results show advantages of using energetic PBXs over the other explosives. | ||||
