Abstract: Ordnance represents a sub-system of weaponry and military equipment, which is being used daily by defense and security forces in realization of the assigned tasks. Throughout the life span of ordnance- from its development and construction, through production, storage, handling and use, to its retirement- certain technical problems occur and need to be solved. This paper shows how to use 40 innovation principles, one of the TRIZ tools, in solving possible problems while working with ordnance. TRIZ methodology is based on the axiom according to which the development of all technical systems, ordnance included, takes place according to objective laws.  Application of TRIZ innovation principles in solving technical problems facilitates the unwinding of this technical- technological evolution.

Keywords: innovation principles, TRIZ, ammunition, ordnance, contradiction.
