| Abstract: |
The goal of this Phase I, is to develop and conduct a feasibility demonstration of a reactive material based projectile on a laboratory scale. The overall system will be able to produce a significant energy release by combining the release of chemical energy as well as the kinetic energy of the projectile. This Phase I will demonstrate key technologies for the reactive material based projectile concept. |
| Benefits: |
The anticipated benefits of this technology are increased weapon performance, in addition to enhanced battle damage indicators. The ability to dramatically increase firepower in small and medium caliber weapons has been an increasing area of interest in both Military and Law Enforcement. Besides the obvious military applications of reactive material based projectiles, this technology could be applied to a range of munitions from breaching rounds to armor piercing rounds for Law Enforcement, research and development of advanced armor systems. |
