Abstract

In order to ensure that military and weapons systems are reliable and support civil development in finding alternative clean energy solution, research in energetic materials is being actively encouraged and expanded. However, reliability, safety, durability and stability are the main obstacles to the development of energetic materials. In order to solve these problems, health monitoring and lifetime assessment technology is currently being actively researched. This paper proposes prognostics and health management (PHM) as an effective tool to address these issues. A roadmap for developing PHM methodology for energetic material systems is proposed, and PHM benefits are also analyzed.
