Burning damage technology is an important research area in energetic materials and damage. The research in burning damage technology was mainly reviewed and summarized from three aspects： the formulation design and application of incendiary agents， the damage theory and technology of burning thermal radiation， and the burning damage assessment technology. Problems such as insufficient burning damage effectiveness of incendiary agents， single process of parameter characterization in thermal radiation model and incomprehensive burning damage assessment method were pointed out. The future research emphases on burning damage technology include incendiary materials with high densities and high calorific values，the structure-effect relationship of incendiary agent charges，testing technology for key model parameters represented by the fireball temperature， correction and optimization of thermal radiation damage models， and the accurate assessment method of thermal radiation damage effect under the coupling effect of multiple damage elements in the damage field.
