Warhead Adaptive Materials (WAM) for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT)

The U.S. Army, as well as other national military services, requires new and innovative energetic materials to produce next generation munitions. There exists a need for 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) will demonstrate the feasibility of applying energetic materials and innovative configurations of those materials to provide the US Army with Warhead Adaptive Materials (WAM) capabilities, specifically materials that are non-detonable that are tailorable to release intense heat and controllable pressure output. GSI will provide the Army with energetic materials information, configuration designs and lethality assessments to support the Warhead Adaptive Material program.
