Target responses to the impact of high-velocity, nonabrasive water jets have been analyzed (Kang et al., 1993~; the mechanisms and parameters of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) cutting have been examined (P.L.

The parameters that affect safety and risk include water pressure, nozzle design, abrasive concentration and particle size, and cutting procedure. Several hundred thousand explosive-loaded projectiles have been safely cut using fluidjet technology.

A limited survey of nonabrasive waterjet cutting of energetic materials was recently published (Estabrook, 1994~. Nonabrasive water jets have been used to download explosives from warheads by the NSWC Indian Head Division at Yorktown, Virginia (Lowell, 1986)
