## What is AASTP?

This enhanced version of the ExpSAFE QD Standard Edition Companion App maintains its clean and easy-to-use design.  It’s a professional-grade tool for planning or conducting site licensing of explosives storage facilities licensed under NATO AASTP-1 principles.

Beyond integration of feature available in the standard app, extra functionality has been added.  These features include the ability to modify default parameters and adds a robust data management.  Users can record edit and save QD assessments, including adding relevant comments.  In addition, the app makes available other linked elements such as the munition disposal module that adheres to AASTP-1 and IATG 01.80 calculations.


Background

The primary objective of AASTP-1 (Manual of NATO Guidelines for the Storage of Military Ammunition and Explosives) is to establish conventional military ammunition and explosives safety principles and guidelines for NATO member states. The document is an open-source publication without security classification or specific releasability instructions. This approach is intended to promote ammunition and explosives safety globally and facilitate the harmonisation of NATO requirements with other international explosives safety standards.
