Abstract:
The apparatus of the present invention uses waste heat generated by a weapon propulsion system to melt and ultimately superheat metal. Upon termination of the weapon mission, the apparatus explodes thereby causing molten and superheated metal to be instantly introduced to the liquid medium through which the weapon travels. The reaction of the molten and superheated metal with the liquid medium produces a vapor explosion that significantly enhances the effectiveness and lethality of the weapon.
