The mission of MIDAS is to provide a central source of the most accurate information on the structure and composition data for conventional munitions.

MIDAS supports demilitarization (DEMIL) planning; resource reuse, recovery and recycling; DEMIL technology R&D applications; and environmental permitting and impact assessments.

MIDAS is an ongoing program managed by the U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center (DAC) in McAlester, OK with programmatic support provided by Argonne National Laboratory since 1993.
