Research abstract
The objective of this proposal is to develop and demonstrate the feasibility of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applications for donor explosive-free detonation of insensitive munitions (IM) and insensitive high explosives (IHE). General Technology System's (GTS) solution, termed the Zero-Explosive Ultrasound Standoff (ZEUS) detonation system, will provide a low-cost, covert, ultra-portable, flexible, and low-profile novel acoustic-based detonation approach. ZEUS will not only have the capability to safely control detonation, but also to intelligently determine and execute the optimal detonation strategy for maximum burn.
