THE STATE-OF-THE-ART CAPABILITY
IN WARHEAD TECHNOLOGY AND PAYLOADS

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems offers a variety of services and hardware that advances the state-of-the art in warhead technology and lethal payloads. We offer world-class concept to hardware capability in modeling and simulation, advanced warhead design and development through qualification and production.

A Total Solution Provider.
Unmatched Capability.

Offering a full array of modeling and simulation tools, including hydrocode, finite element modeling, and evaluation of system lethality and effectiveness. These tools allow developers to use design, modeling and simulation capabilities to develop warhead concepts that deliver maximum lethality against a wide array of targets including fixed, mobile, hardened and buried. In addition, our vertically integrated supply chain allows us to fabricate and test all warhead and payload components to meet requirements for both prototyping and production needs. With our tools and expertise, we can rapidly transition from initial payload concepts to highly lethal products for the US warfighter, all within a compressed development schedule and reduced cost.

Warhead Design and Testing Capabilities

Alternate Warhead Payloads

Warfighters sometimes need to engage targets in scenarios that preclude the use of traditional warheads. These scenarios might include operations in dense urban environments or against enemies spread over a large area. In these cases, alternate payloads may be deployed that will satisfy mission objections in a single attack while limiting collateral damage.

Next Generation Blast and Fragmenting Warheads

Traditional blast fragmentation warheads use high explosives and fragmenting metal cases to provide lethal effects against targets. Our next generation warheads combine these traditional approaches with controlled fragmentation, incendiary materials, and hardened case designs increasing the effectiveness of these systems over traditional systems.
