The objectives of this study are the determination of detonation velocity, shock sensitivity, impact sensitivity, etc.; and the acquisition of high precision one-dimensional hydrodynamic data for use in establishing detonation product equations of state, performance of explosives, etc. A three-shot wedge test series was fired with RX-08-AZ. In terms of transmitted pressure, its sensitivity is comparable to that of LX-09-0. An exponential model was studied as a possible substitute for polynomials in fitting cylinder test data
