Description

The US Army, as well as other national military services, requires new and innovative reactive materials to produce next generation munitions. There exists a need for scalable and adaptable warheads that provide user-selectable energy output, as well as selectable modes of operation, such as fragmentation, penetration and blast. General Sciences, Inc. (GSI) is demonstrating the feasibility of applying reactive materials and innovative configurations of those materials to provide the US Army with Scalable & Adaptive Munitions capabilities, specifically materials that possess high density and high strengths, beyond current reactive materials. GSI is providing the Army with reactive materials information, mechanical property data and mechanical behavior response to support the Scalable & Adaptive Munitions program.
