Air Force SBIR Phase 1 is off an running to develop a Structural Reactive Material fragment. This work is partnered with Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
Project Lead: Brad Bailey
John Granier and Dennis Wilson are invited to present EMPI's RM12GA breaching technology. This product is in early development and we are seeking research funding to develop consistent fabrication processes, for statistical performance data, safety and DOT testing.
We will also be marketing the TEC Torch for thermal breaching and EMPI is partnered with Innovative Defense LLC to developed an improved linear shape charge.
After years of development, in late April 2018 EMPI has fabricated 2 selectable fragmentation devices for performance testing at the AWEF in Florida. Results are pending. EMPI is partnered with Gunger Engineering and Orbital ATK for this efffort. Special thanks to AFRL/RWMW for support of the development and this test series.
