Course content
Composite explosives are divided into civil and military ones and in both cases their basic classification is presented along with requirements for their performance and stability characteristics. Both types of explosives are dealt with taking into account their types, technologies, and technological equipment used in their production, and, in the case of military explosives, also the way of incorporation into ammunition.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
Purposes of the course is forming at a student a complex conception about standard type and trends of the development technology of energetic materials, used like industrial and military explosives, about their quality and fabout fundamental areas of their using.
A student, after graduation of this course, is able to orientation in assortment of the industrial and military explosives. He/She is qualified to decide about selection of a type of explosive for a given application from the point of wiev of its quality and technological availability.
