The most important parameters for the characterization of the performance of secondary explosives for use in energetic formulations in war heads and general purpose bombs (GPBs) are the heat of detonation (Q), the detonation pressure (p) and the detonation velocity (D). For comparison, Figure 9.11 shows a summary of the important values for aminotetrazolium dinitramide (IIAT I)N ), diaminotetrazolium dinitramide (HDAT DN ) and RDX.
