This Navy test of a prototype warhead showed that reactive materials — inert compounds that ignite on impact — can increase the radius and lethality of a missile.

Thermite.
FORD did that years ago........It was called “Project PINTO”.....
Imagine the surprise when a stray enemy bullet hits one of these warheads being carried by one of our planes or tanks.
Like Dragon’s Breath shotgun shells amped up.
Yet another more efficient way to kill people and break things! Me likey!
Almost 20 years ago I worked on projects related to High Energy Density Materials. We wanted more powerful rocket fuel. The big problem is that our stuff wanted to go BOOM instead of WHOOOSH. One time we had 10 MILLIGRAMS detonate all by itself and it wrecked the lab.

Amazing things these smart bullets do!
Like making hamburger meat out of Islamic targets...
One of the private body guards in Baghdad shot one terrorist in the rump with a blended metal round, what he thought a glancing 'flesh wound' but the muzzy went down. When they checked, the fella was dead and his rear end was shredded.
Now, that's what I call a good way to get all those Islamic Terrorists their fondest wish and 72 virgins to boot!
Good!...You may spend my tax money on ways to slice and dice terrorists more effectively. I approve.
