|Section2= |Section3= |Section6= }} FOX-7 or 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene (DADNE)〔US Patent 6340780 - Method of preparing salts of dinitromethane〕 is an insensitive high explosive compound. It was first synthesized in 1998 by the FOA Defence Research Establishment (Sweden).〔(Computational Studies of FOX-7, a New Insensitive Explosive ), Dorsett, 2000, accessed Aug 25, 2005〕 FOX-7 is similar to the insensitive chemical compound TATB, which is a benzene ring compound with three amino and three nitro groups. FOX-7 has a two-carbon backbone rather than a benzene ring, but the amino and nitro groups have similar effects in both cases according to published reports on sensitivity and chemical decay processes of FOX-7. FOX-7 is today produced by Eureco Bofors AB in Sweden. Its explosive properties appear extremely favorable; in addition to its insensitive properties, the detonation velocity of mixtures of 80% FOX-7 plus binders are as high as Composition B, and nearly pure FOX-7 based plastic bonded explosives are slightly superior to RDX. 〔(DETONATION AND SENSITIVITY PROPERTIES OF FOX-7 AND FORMULATIONS CONTAINING FOX-7 ), Karlsson et al., 2002, accessed Aug 25, 2005〕 FOX-7 has been calculated to have a detonation velocity of 8,870 m/s.〔 Due to its small-scale production, the cost of FOX-7 is relatively high. However, the production is based on commercial starting material and the synthesis is uncomplicated.〔US Patent 6312538 - Chemical compound suitable for use as an explosive, intermediate and method for preparing the compound<〕 The price is therefore predicted to fall as production scale increases. There is no current full scale use of FOX-7, but it is being tested at several military research centers. The need for less sensitive munitions is the most important driver for testing FOX-7. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FOX-7」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
