Additional oblique impact tests were performed on RX-25-AA in an attempt to determine its initiation threshold. Several more oblique impact tests were conducted on the LX-10-0 variants. Experimental results from some of the tests conducted last period on the LX-10-0 variant are presented (accelerator records had not been analyzed at the close of the last reporting period). An instrumented vertical drop and oblique impact test series was begun on LX-10-0 Lot 710-2. No experimental work was performed using the HE friction sensitivity apparatus.
