ADVANCED ENERGETICS
Abstract
Advanced Energetics efforts address technology development to provide substantial improvements in energetic material systems and subsystems, primarily in terms of performance, but also addressing safety, reliability, and affordability concerns. Goals include: advanced energetic materials for warheads, propellants, and reactive material based subsystems for both defensive and offensive applications. Efforts include: development of new fuels, oxidizers, explosive ingredients and formulations; and reliable simulation tools and diagnostics to develop and design superior-performance, and/or reduced-vulnerability systems tailored to specific warfighter missions. FY 2012 to FY 2013 funding increase is due to increased funding for advanced energetics materials efforts.
