The paper presents different types of insensitive munition used in military equipment, especially in western countries. Tests of this munition, their parameters, e.g. fast and slow heating, bullet, fragment and shaped charge jet impact and sympathetic reaction are described. The characteristics of shape-memory materials like alloys and polymers are presented. Behaviour of shape-memory alloy is explained by example of TiNi al-loys during mechanical or thermal loading, and martensitic transformation into austen-ite during unloading. Material parameters of the TiNi alloys, their testing and mathematical equations are shown. Venting systems used in the explosive reactive armour cassettes are presented. Different examples of materials, including shape-memory materials in munition, are demonstrated.
