Research abstract
Dynamic Machine Works, Inc. ("Dynamic") proposes to conduct extensive research and development on a combination of advanced materials and advanced processes that will result in the creation of revolutionary Warheads. Specifically, Dynamic can develop a more advanced, higher-strength, thinner, lighter, higher-value Warhead than is currently available if it combines a new generation of high-end materials with its innovative fabrication process, referred to as "flowforming." The final step in the new Warhead production process - knurling square patterns on the Warhead case - will create optimal fragmentation areas, thus making the Warheads even more effective.
