Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E)
The Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Department provides RDT&E
of
energetic materials and of technologies to
evaluate energetic materials and
ordnance. In
addition, the department also provides the scientific foundation
needed to determine the behavior and suitability of energetic materials
for ordnance applications.
