MISSION Nexter Ammunitions has developed several very low vulnerability melt-cast explosive compositions known as XF.These compositions: P Limit serious effects following an attack P Provide enhanced safety for both personnel and equipment, P Facilitate ammunition disposal and recycling at end of life cycle, P Provide enhanced environmental protection, P Offer a low ownership cost: less storage area, less logistics requirements (Unitary

Risk).
