Popis:	The 1985 Pershing fire and other more recent incidents have renewed interest in the phenomenon of electrostatic discharge (ESD) in energetic materials as a mechanism for induced inadvertent ignition and sustained combustion. In recent years, ESD research has focused on developing experimental techniques to evaluate ESD hazards of energetic materials. In this paper, logic/protocol is described for assessing ESD sensitivity in energetic materials consisting of a calculation percolation coefficient and measurements of resistivity, dielectric constant, dielectric breakdown, and resistive-capacitive (R-C) discharge. Representative data on energetic and nonenergetic propellant formulations are presented and discussed.
