With a high effectiveness, IM will not detonate in a fire, nor will they detonate under bullet impact. Mass explosions are avoided.
Inter-operability
IM developed and manufactured under common requirements increase confidence in each partner’s munitions and is key to inter-operability
Logistics and storage more secure
Thanks to their low reaction to stimuli, IM allow reducing isolation distances and simplifies the degree of protection needed for ammunition dumps, convoys and transhipments.
