The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.7 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.1 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00016 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

In the 1980s, in response to major ammunition losses caused by accident and hostile action, the Department of Defense initiated a program to reduce the vulnerability of ammunition items to external stimuli. This effort, labeled the Insensitive Munitions (IM) Program, eventually focused on seven external stimuli (threats); Sympathetic Detonation, Slow Cook off, Fast Cook-off, and Bullet Impact, Fragment Impact, Shaped Charge Jet Impact and Shaped Charge Jet Spall. Of these threats, the one that has been extremely difficult to mitigate has been the shaped charge jet impact. Recently, a new explosive has been developed which shows promise of reducing the violence of response to this threat. This material has been designated PAX-35. Initial tests of PAX-35 have demonstrated an excellent IM response while retaining the fragmentation performance of existing explosive formulations. The response of PAX-35 when subjected to shaped charge jet impact in an actual munition configuration, in conjunction with its subscale performance characteristics, is considered credible evidence to suggest that explosives can be used to render munitions totally IM compliant while meeting the performance criteria for fragmentation.
