What factors have increased terrorism?
Summary
- Perceptions of deprivation and inequality, especially amongst culturally defined groups.
- A lack of political legitimacy and continuity, as well as a lack of integration for the political fringes, encourages ideological terrorism.
- Terrorism in one country can spillover into neighbouring areas.
What do you mean by explosives?
EXPLOSIVES. DEFINITIONS. 1. An explosive substance is a solid or liquid substance (or mixture of substances) which is in itself capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such a temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings.
What are the different types and effects of explosives?
explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. There are three fundamental types: mechanical, nuclear, and chemical. A mechanical explosive is one that depends on a physical reaction, such as overloading a container with compressed air.
What is the meaning of nuclear terrorism?
The convention defines the act of nuclear terrorism as the use or threat to use nuclear material, nuclear fuel, radioactive products or waste, or any other radioactive substances with toxic, explosive, or other dangerous properties.
What do mean by cyber terrorism?
Cyber terrorism denotes unlawful attacks and threats of attack against computers, networks and information stored therein to intimidate or coerce a government or its people for propagating hidden political or unlawful social and religious agendas.
What is a warhead describe the purpose of explosive in the warhead?
Explosive: An explosive charge is used to disintegrate the target, and damage surrounding areas with a blast wave….Detonators.
| Type | Definition |
|---|---|
| Contact | When the warhead makes physical contact with the target, the explosive is detonated. Sometimes combined with a delay, to detonate a specific amount of time after contact. |
What is in a missile warhead?
Conventional warheads are filled with a chemical explosive, such as TNT, and rely on the detonation of the explosive and the resulting metal casing fragmentation as kill mechanisms. Almost all of the longer range ballistic missiles, and several types of land-attack cruise missiles, carry nuclear warheads.
What is the minimum size of an ideal explosive?
Ideal explosives, can be as small as 0.04 inch (1 mm ) Non-ideal explosives, can be large as 8 inch (200 mm) For Non-ideal explosives, Dcritcan depend on the level of confinement Critical Diameter = Dcrit Dcritis important for determining hole size/explosive type compatibility
What is the equivalent factor of B for explosive?
Factors for Equivalent Weight of Composition B Explosive Equivalent Factor Comp B 1.00 PBXN-109 1.19 Tritonal 1.09 AFX-777 1.47 AFX-757 1.39 PAX-28 1.62 Composition B-3
What is an improvised explosive device?
Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) A terrorist attack on the United States remains a significant and pressing threat. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) remain the terrorist weapon of choice due to their relative ease of construction, availability, and destructive capacity.
How do you increase the water resistance of an explosive?
Static or dynamic water Pressure Water resistance of explosives can be improved by use of hole liners, but usually at the risk of reduced charge per foot or meter of blast hole Orange-Brown Nitrous Oxide post blast fumes is indication of water degradation of explosive performance. Sleep Time
