The handbook is a distillation in data sheet format of information about substances not widely available outside of the United States and its NATO allies that are considered to be critical for the development of advanced weapons and munitions systems.The document summarizes, updates and, to some degree, supersedes IDA Memorandum Report M-456, Foreign Capabilities Assessment ofEnergetic Materials Technology (April 1988); IDA Paper P-2391, Energetic Materials and Devices Technology Guide and Foreign Technology Assessment (October 1990); and IDA Document D-1268, Munitions Devices and Energetic Materials Technology (May 1994).
It is intended as a desktop handbook for Customs Officers; Licensing, Security and Classification officials; and Research, Development and Engineering personnel.
