The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden and Norway have agreed to a joint research project to enhance the energetic materials capabilities of Europe, the European Defence Agency (EDA) announced on 3 June.

The project will build on the previous EDA Formulation and Production of New Energetic Materials (FPNEM) project in the framework of the agency’s ammunition technologies-focused capability technology group, CapTech AMMO.

Under the Sweden-led project named Energetic Materials towards an Enhanced European Capability (EMTEEC), experts will develop mutual awareness and knowledge of selected future energetic materials, production methods for critical components such as small scale evaluation methods and raw materials. The project will run over a period of four years.

Energetic materials carry high amount of stored chemical energy, which can be released. These materials are used in military applications like fuels, propellants, pyrotechnic compositions and explosives. France took part in the project launch meeting as an observer.
