1.
SCOPE.
a. The purpose for this document is to establish specific design safety criteria for Active
Hazard Mitigation Device (AHMD) intended for use with munitions for the purpose of reducing
the severity of the munition s response when subjected to Insensitive Munitions (IM) thermal
threat environments.
b. This document does not apply to passive hazard mitigation devices, nuclear weapon
systems, and trainers.
c. This document has been developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) Fuze
Engineering Standardization Working Group (FESWG) to provide safety requirements for use
by the design authority. This document is also used by the Service Safety Review Authorities
(SSRA) to assess the AHMD for an acceptable level of safety.
d. In all cases, the SSRA will review the AHMD design and any applicable safety and
risk analyses for compliance with this document. Early coordination with the SSRA regarding
the AHMD design in context with its use in a munition system is also recommended.
e. This document is applicable to new development or existing munitions that
incorporate an AHMD.
2.
DEFINITIONS.
a. Active Hazard Mitigation Device (AHMD). A device that generates either exothermic
or explosive effects in response to specific IM thermal threat environments to reduce the severity
of the munition s response to the thermal threat environments. The exothermic or explosive
effects may be derived from energetic materials, a reaction of ingredients when mixed, and/or a
response of normally inert materials that generate these effects in the thermal threat
environments.
b.
Function. Production of the output and/or effects from the AHMD.
c. IM thermal threat environments. For the purpose of this document, the following are
considered IM thermal threat environments: Fast Cook-off (FCO) and Slow Cook-off (SCO).
FCO and SCO tests are described in detail in Military Standard (MIL-STD)-2105.
d. Passive Hazard Mitigation Device. An inert device or integral feature of a munition
and/or its packaging that is intended to reduce the severity of the munition's response to specific
thermal threat environments.
