Energetic Materials are important components of weapon systems. This session will describe the synthesis of novel "green" energetics and new synthesis methodologies, formulating for environmental benefits and characterization methods. The session has a line up of distinguished researchers from different aspects of Energetics Materials  life cycle. The session will cover synthesis of CHNO based Energetics, aluminized propellants and processing methods, novel characterization methods as well as additive manufacturing of Energetics. The session will conclude with a discussion on future directions in Energetics for the Weapons Systems & Platforms.
