Warheads/ Energetics Technologies
Abstract
This Project investigates and designs enabling warhead and energetic technologies such as novel warhead architectures, new propellant techniques, and high-density explosives to produce smaller, lighter, more effective, multi-role warheads, flare and pyrotechnic countermeasures, and novel approaches for ammunition demilitarization and combat in complex environments. Efforts in this Project support the Army Science and Technology Lethality Portfolio. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. This work is performed by the Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ in collaboration with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; and the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), Huntsville, AL.
