METAL BASED ANTIBIOTICS FOR TUBERCULOSIS

Not Available Warhead technology could be furthered by a quantum step by incorporating electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects. The EMP generating warheads would disrupt electronic countermeasure (ECM) devices or disable communications centers without the necessity of significant collateral damage. TPL proposes to explore a Continuous Rod Electromagnetically Pulsed (CREMP) warhead which will extend the radius of influence by suing the Continuous Rod (CR) warhead as an antenna for EMP. Explosive flux compression generators are proposed to supply the necessary power. The dual package, warhead an power generator, is expected to fit within the typical constraints of a standard missile platform. The CREMP concept viability, feasibility, and effectiveness will be examined. Various preliminary design concepts will be investigated. Lethality estimates will be made for a range of engagement scenarios with respect to the CREMP warhead function. Limitations will be noted. Results of simulations will be used to design a strategy for advanced development. TPL has assembled an outstanding tem to conduct the proposed effort. Mr. T. Schilling will lead the effort assigned by Mr. D. Kennedy a celebrated authority in warhead design, and Mr. F. Williams a noted expert in the area of explosive flux compressors.
