Turn Dough into C4 in a minute
Reasons:. The energetic materials—high explosives, gun propellants, rocket propellants—that are found in munitions of all types are sensitive to heat and to mechanical shock, so they may be triggered by fire or by impact with bullets or fragments. Such secondary effects are significant: in the Gulf War, for example, most of the disabling damage to fighting vehicles was found to be caused by their own munition payloads, inadvertently triggered by unwanted stimuli.
Goals:So,what if there is a explosive ,you can maintain in a unarmed state when u dunt need them. Armed or unarmed explosive means the explosive itself,not the shell or mine containing the explosives The unarmed explosive will not be triggered by fire or by impact with bullets nor fragments. But you can turn it into armed and ready explosive in a minute,hopefully in seconds later on when technology mature.You think i am writing sci fic.US and most likely Sg ,are doing the R&D.
OBJECTIVES:
(Of DAPRA)The objective of this two phase program will be to develop a system containing an energetic fill and a control scheme that can demonstrate a mechanism by which the energetic fill can be switched between completely insensitive mode and full energy release. This control scheme cannot be compromised and the output of energy when the system is detonated cannot be diluted to obtain insensitivity

In Sg,it is called Advanced Materials,instead of Energetic Materials
