ABSTRACT:
Shields of tungsten-plastic composite material are strategically disposed termediate neighboring rounds of ammunition containing highly sensitive cyclotol explosive. The shield's shape and composite structure permit the rounds to be more closely stored in tank and depot applications, with reduced danger of propagation of detonation and fratricide hazard.
