About this file
This document contains a pre-solicitation notice for detonation cord and a related product file. The Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command will be releasing a formal RFP seeking IDIQ contracts for three types of detonation cord identified by NSN and nomenclature. Interested vendors should monitor this posting for updates on the anticipated release of the formal solicitation. Detonation cord, also called det cord, is a thin plastic tube filled with PETN used to reliably detonate multiple explosive charges simultaneously in applications such as mining, drilling, demolitions, and warfare. The product file provides background information and an example picture of detonation cord.

M456 - NSN 1375-01-180-9356 DETONATING CORD
1,000 FOOT, TYPE 1, CLASS E
Detonating cord, also called det cord is a thin, flexible plastic tube usually filled with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN, pentrite). With the PETN exploding at a rate of approximately 6400 m/s, any common length of detonation cord appears to explode instantaneously. It is a high-speed fuse which explodes, rather than burns, and is suitable for detonating high explosives. The velocity of detonation is sufficient to use it for synchronizing multiple charges to detonate almost simultaneously even if the charges are placed at different distances from the point of initiation. It is used to reliably and inexpensively chain together multiple explosive charges. Typical uses include mining, drilling, demolitions, and warfare.
