Warhead and bomb systems

Our conventional warheads are used worldwide in a range of explosive materials including Insensitive Munition (IM) compositons, heavy bombs, torpedoes and depth charges.

Our high performance warheads are used against high value hardened targets in the Joint Stand-Off Weapon (JSOW) and Storm Shadow missile systems and are based on Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge (BROACH) technology.

We are currently working on programmes to develop the next generation of warhead systems to defeat ultra-hardened and deeply buried targets. Our customers require a flexible service that enables them to deliver on their commitments. That's why we deliver current or advanced explosive compositions at high and low volumes, complemented by an extensive range of in-house trial and test facilities for x-ray, dismantling and environmentally friendly disposal.
