| 20080229963 | REACTIVE MATERIAL ENHANCED MUNITION COMPOSITIONS AND PROJECTILES CONTAINING SAME - A reactive material that includes at least one of a fuel, an oxidizer, and a class 1.1 explosive and is formulated for use in a reactive material projectile. The reactive material is formulated to provide at least one of an overpressure of greater than approximately 9 pounds per square inch at a radial measurement of 12 inches from a point of impact on a target, a hole greater than approximately 2 square inches at an optimum penetration level in a target, and pressure, damage, and a flame when the reactive material bullet impacts a target. The fuel may be a metal, a fusible metal alloy, an organic fuel, or mixtures thereof. The oxidizer may be an inorganic oxidizer, sulfur, a fluoropolymer, or mixtures thereof. A reactive material projectile having the reactive material disposed therein is also disclosed. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080251169 | IONIC LIQUID, A METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING AN IONIC LIQUID, A PRECURSOR OF AN EXPLOSIVE COMPOSITION INCLUDING AT LEAST ONE IONIC LIQUID, AND A METHOD OF DESENSITIZING AN EXPLOSIVE COMPOSITION - An ionic liquid is disclosed A precursor composition that comprises at least one ionic liquid and at least one energetic material is also disclosed, as is a method of synthesizing an ionic liquid and a method of desensitizing an explosive composition. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090188379 | METHODS OF PREVENTING INITIATION OF EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, DEACTIVATED EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, AND A METHOD OF DISRUPTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A DETONATION DEVICE AND AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE - A method of preventing initiation of an explosive device.
