This paper described the laboratory tests performed to generate input data and the development and improvement of a computer model to predict fast and slow cookoff test results. The kinetics parameters of a PBX, based in RDX, was obtained and their results were used as input data in a computer model to predict ignition temperature and time-to-explosion. The results obtained with the 1-step kinetic model, based on the empirical model of Sestak- Berggreen and the 3-steps McGuire-Tarver kinetic model were compared and the discussion is conducted to improved design practices for insensitive munitions.
