102475000 | Focused or directed detonation | 9 |
20140366764 | WARHEAD CASE AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME - A case for a warhead having a plurality of elongated wires which are braided or woven together to form a mesh which is formed into the shape corresponding to the warhead case. The mesh is impregnated with a polymer matrix which, upon curing, forms a rigid warhead case. At least some of the elongated wires include notches at selected locations which form fracture points which shape a blast from a subsequent explosion of the warhead. | 12-18-2014 |
20160025468 | LOW-COLLATERAL DAMAGE DIRECTED FRAGMENTATION MUNITION - A directed munition has a non-fragmentation casing, and an explosive within the casing that is configured to propel fragments out an opening of the casing when the explosive is detonated. The casing may be made of a material that does not produce lethal or injurious fragments when the explosive is detonated. The explosive may include an insensitive explosive portion that creates the shape of an explosive front, and a secondary explosive containing a more energetic explosive, which is closer to the fragments than the insensitive explosive portion. There may be more of the insensitive explosive than the relatively energetic explosive. | 01-28-2016 |
102476000 | Shaped charge | 7 |
20090205529 | KINETIC ENERGY ROD WARHEAD WITH LOWER DEPLOYMENT ANGLES - A kinetic energy rod warhead includes a projectile core which includes a plurality of projectiles and an explosive charge about the core. There is at least one detonator for the explosive charge, and at least one wave shaper in the explosive charge or between the explosive charge and the core and having an apex adjacent the detonator. | 08-20-2009 |
20090288573 | WARHEAD FOR INTERCEPTING SYSTEM - A warhead system for a projectile-intercepting munition, the warhead system includes a fuselage having an axis and one or more explosively-formed-projectile charge. The explosively-formed-projectile is with a length and configured to generate one or more explosively formed blade projectile propagating substantially perpendicular to the length, the explosively-formed-projectile charge assuming a deployed state wherein the length of the explosively-formed-projectile charge is non-parallel to the axis, the deployed state and the explosively-formed-projectile charge configured such that, when the explosively-formed-projectile charge is detonated in the deployed state, the explosively formed blade projectile propagates in a direction non-coplanar with the length of the explosively-formed-projectile charge and the axis of the fuselage. | 11-26-2009 |
20100212532 | HAND GRENADE - Building on a modular construction of a hand grenade ( | 08-26-2010 |
20110023743 | PROJECTILE - The invention relates to a projectile ( | 02-03-2011 |

20130199394 | Segmented missile approach - This invention is a segmented missile that uses multiple circular linear shaped charge warheads deployed in tandem. Each warhead is capable of full-caliber holes and 5 to 15 charge diameters of penetration for each warhead, depending on the target material. The full-caliber hole capability allows for the warheads to travel down the hole made by the previous warhead. Each warhead is sequenced in its time of arrival at the bottom of the hole, allowing for a cumulative effect. | 08-08-2013 |
20150033971 | WARHEAD HAVING SELECTABLE AXIAL EFFECTS - A cylindrical warhead is divided into a conical central segment and peripheral segments. The central segment has a disk-shaped liner bounding a cavity with high explosive and forming a penetrating projectile. The peripheral segments are hingedly attached to the central segment and have outer segment faces bounding respective cavities with high explosive, the segment faces forming sidewalls of the warhead in a closed position. The peripheral segments can be released to an open position in which the segment faces point in the forward direction for detonation. The warhead may be used in the closed position for single hardened targets such as armored vehicles and in the open position for area targets such as lighter vehicles and personnel. Opening of the warhead may be enabled at a time of launch of the warhead, or at a time of target acquisition after launch. | 02-05-2015 |
