IMX-101
IMX-101 is a high-performance insensitive high explosive composite mixture developed by BAE Systems and the United States Army to replace TNT in artillery shells, starting as soon as 2011.〔(BAE IMX-101 Explosive Approved To Replace TNT In US Army Artillery )〕〔(DTIC Background and Introduction to IMX-101, -102 and -103 )〕〔(The Application of New IM Explosive Candidates - DTIC Online )〕〔(Army Approves Safer Explosive To Replace TNT )〕 IMX stands for "Insensitive Munitions eXplosives", which refers to the purpose of IMX-101: to provide explosive force equivalent to TNT without its sensitivity to shocks such as gunfire, explosions from improvised explosive devices, fire, and shrapnel. For example, it is believed that a training incident in Nevada which killed seven Marines would not have occurred with the new explosive. On March 23, 2013, the United States Army ordered $780 million worth of the explosive, with a production of millions of pounds annually, to be produced by BAE at Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee. The new explosive will cost $8 per pound, compared to $6 per pound for TNT.〔
==Composition==
It is composed of ingredients including 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and nitrotriazalone (NTO).〔 The nominal composition is DNAN, NQ (nitroguanidine), NTO.〔 Trace amounts of MNA(n-methyl-p-nitroaniline) are included in some formulations to aid in processing.
The performance of PAX-28, a thermobaric, containing a mixture of RDX, DNAN, Al, AP and MNA was found to have an indoor explosive equivalency factor of 1.62 when compared to Composition B. OSX-12 is being studied as a replacement to PAX-28.
